GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

 HCFC2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

 HCF-2

Description

 Host cell factor C2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

 This gene encodes one of two proteins which interact with VP16, a herpes simplex virus protein that initiates virus infection. Both the encoded protein and the original Herpes host cell factor interact with VP16 through a beta-propeller domain. The original Herpes host cell factor, however, is effective at initiating viral infection while the encoded protein is not. Transcripts of varying length due to alternative polyadenylation signals have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
