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 S (D614G) in the spike protein and NSP12b in the non-structural protein (NSP) occurred in all SARS-CoV-2 isolates. In addition, 10 of the 11 SARS-CoV-2 isolates carried the NSP2 (Y537Y), NSP3 (F106F), and ORF3a (Q57H) substitutions (Table 1). |
