Recombinant Norovirus GII.4 VP1 antigen

• Cat.No.: VP1-16N
• Product Overview: Recombinant Norovirus GII.4 VP1 antigen produced in mammalian HEK293 cells.

Specification

• Description: Norovirus VP1 protein is the capsid protein of Norovirus. It is a 59kD glycoprotein with three key domains. The shell domain (S domain) contains elements essential for the formation of the icosahedron. The Protruding domain (P domain) is divided into sub-domains P1 and P2. P domain interacts in dimeric contacts that increase the stability of the capsid and form the protrusions on the virion. An hypervariable region in P2 is thought to play an important role in receptor binding and immune reactivity.
