General Information
Biological Significance
Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is a multifunctional, dimeric viral protein associated with Epstein-Barr virus. It is the only viral protein of Epstein-Barr that is found in all EBV-related malignancies. It is important in establishing and maintaining the altered state that cells take when infected with EBV. EBNA1 possesses a glycine-alanine repeat sequence that separates the protein into amino- and carboxy-terminal domains.
