Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Envelope glycoprotein B
EN
Glycoprotein B is an envelope glycoprotein that forms spikes at the surface of the virion envelope. It is essential for the fusion of viral and cellular membranes leading to virus entry into the host cell. Membrane fusion is mediated by the fusion machinery composed at least of gB and the heterodimer gH/gL
