Description
We have recently reported that vIL-6 also associates with a novel membrane protein termed vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 variant 2 (VKORC1v2) and mediates suppression of VKORC1v2-cointeracting cathepsin D, a stress-released proapoptotic protein negatively impacting HHV-8 latently infected primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cell viability and reactivated virus productive replication.
