Protein detail:


Protein name Membrane Protein
Uniprot protein ID K9N7A1
Protein length 219 amino acids
Protein description Membrane Protein is present in high amounts out of all proteins in coronaviruses. Its length spans to about 219 amino acids with a short length N terminal domain, attached to triple transmembrane domains that are further connected to a carboxyl-terminal domain and belong to the N-linked glycosylated proteins with a conserved domain of 12 amino acids. Out of the three TDM, the first one is capable enough to encourage self-association of M proteins, improved membrane affinity, and retention in Golgi. The membrane protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein, is the most abundant structural protein in the virus particle and has been suggested as an antiviral drug target.
