SARS-CoV-2 NSP8 Protein (Avi)

NSP8 is a nonstructural protein of coronavirus. NSP8 acts as a primase in RNA synthesis. NSP8 and NSP7 are essential co-factors of NSP12 (the catalytic subunit with RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity) that can remarkably stimulate RdRp activity. The nsp12-nsp7-nsp8 subcomplex is defined as the minimal core component for mediating coronavirus RNA synthesis. SARS-CoV-2 NSP8 Protein (Avi) is expressed in E. coli expression system. The predicted molecular weight is 24.17 kDa and the accession number is YP_009725304.1.
