Protein detail:


Protein name Envelope Protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC4
Protein length 75 amino acids
Protein description The SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein is a small structural protein involved in many aspects of the viral life cycle. The E protein promotes the packaging and reproduction of the virus, and deletion of this protein weakens or even abolishes the virulence.

Evidence Mutation mapping showed a total of 106 amino acid substitutions (missense mutations in >5 genomes) from a representative set of 513 genomes. The analysis also revealed 36 mutations that were found in >5% of genome sequences, while 12 major substitutions were lineage-defining mutations (Fig. 1).
