Abstract excerpt

The rotavirus nonstructural protein NSP4 plays a role in viral assembly by acting as an intracellular receptor for single-shelled particles and assisting in the translocation of these particles across the endoplasmic reticulum. Recently, NSP4 has been implicated in rotavirus virulence and is thou...
