Protein detail:


Protein name ORF3a protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC3
Protein length 275 amino acids
Protein description ORF3a is a non-structural protein of SARS-CoV-2 localized at the surface. It is the largest accessory factor that contains 275 amino acids, and shows broad functions, such as enhancing viral entry within the host, regulating the pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production, participating in ion channel formation as well as modulating release of virus from the host cell.

Evidence The amino acid substitutions were found scattered throughout the genome. A total of 38 amino acid substitutions were observed compared to prototype Wuhan strain. Out of these, 24 were found in ORF1ab, 5 in the S protein, 2 in ORF 3a, 1 each in E, M and ORF 7a. Finally, 4 substitutions were located in the N protein. The unique non-synonymous variants from all samples are shown in Table 22.
