Apoptosis Regulator BHRF1, Recombinant Epstein-Barr Virus, aa1-142, His-Tag (BHRF1)

Prevents premature death of the host cell during virus production, which would otherwise reduce the amount of progeny virus. Acts as a host B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) homolog, and interacts with pro-apoptotic proteins to prevent mitochondria permeabilization, release of cytochrome c and subsequent apoptosis of the host cell. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-142 from Epstein-Barr virus BHRF1, fused to 10xHis-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
