Capsid protein VP1

UniProtKB accession:  Q90125

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Capsid protein self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=1 symmetry, about 22 nm in diameter, and consisting of 60 copies of size variants of the capsid proteins, which differ in the N-terminushe capsid encapsulates the genomic ssDNA. Capsid proteins are responsible for the attachment to host cell receptors. This attachment induces virion internalization predominantly through clathrin-dependent endocytosis (By similarity).
