Protein detail:


Protein name Envelope Protein UL20
Uniprot protein ID P09290
Protein length 222 amino acids
Protein description UL20 plays an essential role in egress of virus particles from the nucleus, cytoplasmic envelopment and virus-induced cell fusion. Forms a functional protein complex with gK and this interaction is absolutely essential for their coordinate intracellular transport, gK glycosylation, expression on host cell surface, and function. Together, they modulate gB-mediated virus-induced cell fusion and virion egress and therefore actively participate in these processes.
