gM
Function
Envelope glycoprotein important for virion assembly and egress. Plays a role in the correct incorporation of gH-gL into virion membrane. Directs the glycoprotein N (gN) to the host trans-Golgi network.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein M family.
Cellular localization
- Virion membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
- Host Golgi apparatus
- Host trans-Golgi network
- Host endosome membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
- Host nucleus inner membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
- During virion morphogenesis, this protein accumulates in the trans-Golgi network where secondary envelopment occurs.
