Protein detail:


Protein name ORF8b protein
Uniprot protein ID -
Protein length 84 amino acids
Protein description The orf8a and orf8b of SARS-CoV are not essential for viral replication while they are localized in vesiclelike structures in the endoplasmic reticulum, cytosol and nucleus of host cells. The orf8a and orf8b of SARS-CoV stimulate cellular DNA synthesis and caspase-dependent apoptosis.
