MeSH Heading: HIV Envelope Protein gp120
Tree Number(s): D12.776.964.350.520.350; D12.776.964.775.325.164.249; D12.776.964.775.562.500.500; D12.776.964.970.880.325.164.249; D23.050.327.520.350
Unique ID: D015699
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015699
Scope Note: External envelope protein of the human immunodeficiency virus which is encoded by the HIV env gene. It has a molecular weight of 120 kDa and contains numerous glycosylation sites. Gp120 binds to cells expressing CD4 cell-surface antigens, most notably T4-lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages. Gp120 has been shown to interfere with the normal function of CD4 and is at least partly responsible for the cytopathic effect of HIV.
Entry Term(s): Envelope Glycoprotein gp120, HIV; HIV Envelope Glycoprotein gp120; HTLV-III gp120; env Protein gp120, HIV; gp120 Envelope Glycoprotein, HIV; gp120(HIV)
