NCIt related terms : LMP1; Latent Membrane Protein-1;
NCIt definition : Latent membrane protein 1 (386 aa, 42 kDa) is encoded by the Epstein-Barr virus LMP1
gene. This protein is involved in both the activation of nuclear factor-kappa-B family
signaling pathways and the inhibition of apoptosis of infected B-lymphocytes.;
