Function
The heterodimer gE/gI serves as a receptor for the Fc part of host IgG. Dissociation of gE/gI from IgG occurs at acidic pH. May thus be involved in anti-HSV antibodies bipolar bridging, followed by intracellular endocytosis and degradation, thereby interfering with host IgG-mediated immune responses.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Virion membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Host cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Host cell junction; Host Golgi apparatus membrane (Single-pass membrane protein); Host endosome membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)
