Protein detail:


Protein name ORF7a protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC7
Protein length 121 amino acids
Protein description The orf 7a of SARS-CoV-2 is a transmembrane protein with four regions from the N-terminal: 1) the first 15 amino acids form a signal peptide which is hydrolyzed by the infected host cells; 2) the amino acids from 16 to 96 constitute the intracellular domain; 3) the 97- 117 amino acids are hydrophobic amino acids constituting a transmembrane domain; and 4) the last five amino acids constitute the C- terminal of the orf7a. The orf7a interacts with the S, M, E, and the orf3a proteins, which suggest a role of the protein in the assembling of the virus and in the binding and invasion of the virus to the host cells.
