UniProtKB accession:  P0C6L6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Following virus entry into host cell, provides nuclear import of HDV RNPs thanks to its nuclear localization signal. Needs co-infection with hepatitis B virus to provide surface proteins, otherwise there is no packaging or budding. Packages the HDV ribonucleoprotein in hepatitis B virus empty particles. Interacts with both HDV genomic RNA and cytoplasmic tail of HBsAg. May inhibit viral RNA replication (By similarity).
