Gene nameERVK13-1
Protein nameEndogenous retrovirus group K member 13-1 Env polyprotein (Envelope polyprotein) (HERV-K_16p13.3 provirus ancestral Env polyprotein) [Cleaved into: Surface protein (SU); Transmembrane protein (TM)]
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Retroviral envelope proteins mediate receptor recognition and membrane fusion during early infection. Endogenous envelope proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution (By similarity). .; FUNCTION: SU mediates receptor recognition. .; FUNCTION: TM anchors the envelope heterodimer to the viral membrane through one transmembrane domain. The other hydrophobic domain, called fusion peptide, mediates fusion of the viral membrane with the target cell membrane (By similarity). .
