Varicella-zoster virus (strain Dumas) glycoprotein L/gL Protein (His & Myc)

The heterodimer glycoprotein H-glycoprotein L is required for the fusion of viral and plasma membranes leading to virus entry into the host cell. Acts as a functional inhibitor of gH and maintains gH in an inhibited form. Upon binding to host integrins, gL dissociates from gH leading to activation of the viral fusion glycoproteins gB and gH. Varicella-zoster virus (strain Dumas) glycoprotein L/gL Protein (His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 22.6 kDa and the accession number is P09308.
