Biological function summary
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen plays a central role in the life cycle of the virus. It participates in the formation of the viral envelope an essential step for virion assembly and release. Additionally it associates with other proteins as part of a nucleocapsid complex that encapsulates and protects the viral DNA within the host organism. This interaction facilitates immune evasion and allows persistent infection making HBsAg an important factor in chronic hepatitis B infection.
Pathways
The surface antigen of HBV integrates itself into the viral replication and host immune response pathways. HBsAg impacts the host immune regulation by modulating pathways that normally detect and clear foreign antigens. It interferes with cytokine signaling pathways which include interactions with proteins like interferons that serve as antiviral agents. These protein interactions hamper the host's ability to mount an effective immune response fostering a suitable environment for viral persistence.
