| Description | matrix protein (3-15) [Zaire ebolavirus] is a peptide of the structural proteins linking the viral envelope with the zaire ebolavirus core. Ebola virus (EBOV) is a member of the family Filoviridae in the order Mononegavirales. It is the causative agent of severe hemorrhagic fevers in human and non-human primates with high case fatality rates. |
| In vitro | A role for matrix proteins in the regulation of viral genome replication and transcription has been shown for a number of negative-strand RNA viruses. The recent study has shown that both matrix proteins of EBOV, VP40, and VP24, are able to inhibit both viral genome replication and transcription. |
