Protein detail:


Protein name ORF8 protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC8
Protein length 121 amino acids
Protein description The SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 gene spans 366 nucleotides (nt), is located between position 27,894 and 28,259 of the virus genome, following the ORF7b and preceding the N genes, respectively. The ORF8 gene is part of a hypervariable genomic region of - 430 bp in length that has been recognized as a recombination hotspot, also highly susceptible to deletions and nt substitutions. ORF8 protein comprehends an N-terminal signal peptide for transmembrane (TM) import and secretion, an internal -sandwich core and a C-terminal TM region followed by a stretch of basic residues.
