Comparative structural insights of X protein across species and the "lost" BH3-like domain that may explain the absence of hepatocellular carcinoma in birds
{{output}}
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV produces an X protein (HBx) that is heavily linked to HCC, a similar finding seen across the Orthohepadnaviruses. There is an analogous, but truncated form of t... ...
