Name | gag |
---|---|
Function | [Gag polyprotein]: Mediates, with Gag-Pol polyprotein, the essential events in virion assembly, including binding the plasma membrane, making the protein-protein interactions necessary to create spherical particles, recruiting the viral Env proteins, and packaging the genomic RNA via direct interactions with the RNA packaging sequence (Psi). |
Cellular Location | [Gag polyprotein]: Host cell membrane; Lipid- anchor. Host endosome, host multivesicular body {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12493}. Note=These locations are probably linked to virus assembly sites. The main location is the cell membrane, but under some circumstances, late endosomal compartments can serve as productive sites for virion assembly. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12493} [Capsid protein p24]: Virion. |

Background
HIV-1 p24 Antibody: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) particle consists of an envelope, a core and the region between the two termed matrix. The HIV-1 Gag protein is a late structural protein that contains four proteins: matrix (p17), capsid (p24), nucleocapsid (p7) and the p6 protein. The p24 is the major capsid protein of the virus and has been used in clinical trials as one of the components of the HIV-1 vaccine because of the high degree of sequence conservation between different strains.
