Small delta antigen

UniProtKB accession:  P25989

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Promotes both transcription and replication of genomic RNA. Following virus entry into host cell, provides nuclear import of HDV RNPs thanks to its nuclear localization signal. May interact with host RNA polymerase II thereby changing its template requirement from DNA to RNA. RNA pol II complex would then acts as an RNA-directed RNA polymerase, and transcribe and replicate HDV genome (By similarity).
