Viral penetration into host cytoplasm
| Definition | Viral protein involved in the entry of the entire virion or its genetic material into the host cell cytoplasm. Entry is achieved through pore formation, membrane fusion and/or endocytosis mechanisms. Penetration reactions occur mainly in five locations: the cell membrane, early and late endosomes, caveosomes, and the ER. |
