Target Information
The Chikungunya Virus Capsid Protein is a multifunctional structural component that encapsulates the viral genomic RNA to form the nucleocapsid. Beyond its role in virion assembly, it acts as a serine protease, undergoing autoproteolytic cleavage from the structural polyprotein. It also facilitates viral pathogenesis by inhibiting host nuclear import and suppressing cellular transcription. As a critical factor in the viral life cycle, it is a primary target for antiviral drug development and diagnostic antibody screening.
