Protein Domain : Influenza nuclear export protein NS2 IPR000968

Type	Family
Description	The Influenza A virus belongs to the class of ssRNA negative-strand viruses. Influenza virus NS2 protein (also known as NEP) has an important role in the nucleocytoplasmic transport of the viral ribonucleoprotein. The NS2 proteins perform this function in virus-infected cells by interacting with nuclear pore complex components of the host cell [ ]. It is also involved in important functions during influenza virus replication. Regulation of viral RNA transcription and replication by NS2 was shown to be an important factor in the adaptation of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses to the mammalian host [].
Short Name	Flu_NS2
