Description | The proteins in this family are related to the m04 encoded protein gp34 of pathogenic microorganisms such as Murid herpesvirus 1. m06 and m152 genes are expressed earlier in the intracellular replication phases of these microorganism' life cycles. They function to inhibit MHC-1 loading and export. gp34 is theorized to prevent immune reactions from NK cells which would ordinarily recognise and attack cells lacking MHC [ ]. | Name | Immune evasion protein |
Short Name | M04gp34-like | Type | Family |
