ORF3a Products

Antibodies

Description

ORF3a is an open reading frame coronavirus protein involved in virus replication in release.  Analysis of ORF3a nucleotide and protein sequences can predict their ability to alter viral cycle and provides insight into the biology of coronaviruses.  ORF3a has been characterized in both SARS-CoV which caused the SARS outbreak and in SARS-CoV-2 which caused the COVID-19 pandemic.  ORF3a is a high priority target that is amenable to drug treatment for COVID-19 post viral syndrome.  Mutations in ORF3a can help understand viral virulence and design suitable therapeutics.
