Adenovirus E3 Proteins (Adenovirus E3 Protein)

Proteins transcribed from the E3 region of ADENOVIRUSES but not essential for viral replication. The E3 19K protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells.

Also Known As:

Adenovirus E3 Protein; Adenovirus Type 2 E3-19K Protein; E3 19K Protein, Adenovirus; E3 Protein, Adenovirus; Adenovirus Type 2 E3 19K Protein; E3 Proteins, Adenovirus; Adenovirus E3 19K Protein
