Protein attributes

Sequence length	154 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Multifunctional protein that may modulate protein degradation pathways, apoptosis, transcription, signal transduction, cell cycle progress, and genetic stability by directly or indirectly interacting with hosts factors. Does not seem to be essential for HBV infection. May be directly involved in development of cirrhosis and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Most of cytosolic activities involve modulation of cytosolic calcium. Effect on apoptosis is controversial depending on the cell types in which the studies have been conducted By similarity.
Subunit structure	May form homodimer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Host cytoplasm. Host nucleus. Host mitochondrion By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the orthohepadnavirus protein X family.
