Primary Identifier | IPR001332 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Arteri_GP5 |
description | Arterivirus such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) contain four glycoproteins on the virion envelope: the major glycoprotein GP5 and minor glycoproteins GP2a, GP3, and GP4. GP5, previously known as Gl, is encoded in ORF5 and is 30- 45kDa in size []. Gl is heterogeneously glycosylated with N-acetyllactosamine in a cell-type-specific manner. It is the most abundant envelope glycoprotein and a key target for neutralising antibodies [, ]. |
