Description
Purified recombinant HIV1 p17 IIIB (FITC)
The p17 matrix protein, one of the products of the HIV gag gene, serves a structural function inside mature HIV particles. Units of p17 line the inside of the HIV envelope, helping to anchor the gp41/gp120 spikes to the envelope. Once the HIV core has entered the cell, p17 also serves the function of helping it be transferred into the cell's nucleus. It achieves this because it carries nuclear localisation signals
