1.A.144. The A15.5L Viroporin (A15.5L-VP) Family
This family has been examined, first, showing that its characterized member is a small transmembrane protein of 73 aas and 1 TMS (residues 45 - 69). Second, it has been shown to have ion channel activity (Basu et al. 2023). Third, its 3-D transmembrane structure has been predicted using alpha-fold.
