This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative initiation. [Align] [Select]

Isoform External core antigen (identifier: P03154-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Isoform Capsid protein (identifier: P0C6J7-1)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P0C6J7.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.
