Protein detail:


Protein name ORF7b
Uniprot protein ID -
Protein length 43 amino acids
Protein description ORF7b encodes a viral accessory protein. Based on its similarity to other coronavirus proteins, ORF7b protein is thought to localize to the Golgi compartment. The orf7b is a hydrophobic protein with a transmembrane domain N-terminal at the outside, and a cytoplasmic C-terminal. Similar to orf7a, orf7b is reported by the majority of the previous studies that it is not essential for virus replication.
