| Description: | Only one open reading frame gave a stretch of appreciable length (122 amino acids) with a stop codon (TGA)70 bp before the end of the cDNA at nucleotide 370 .It contains three hydrophobic regions ( amino acids 52-59, 79-88 and 105-113) and one strongly hydrophilic region located between amino acids 72-79. |
| Subcellular location: | NA |
| Function: | One of the first observations of a circRNA behaving as a translational templates is the case of the single-stranded circular RNA genome of the hepatitis δ virus which is a satellite virus of the hepatitis B virus, where encapsulation of HDV with HBV virions results in the production of a single viral protein of 122 amino acids, in a non-canonical manner. |
