[HHV-8 K4.2 protein] this protein is encoded by open reading frame K4.2 (orfK4.2) in the genome of KSHV (Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus). It has been shown to block immunoglobulin production (see: MZB1) and also appears to contribute to maximal lytic replication by enhancing viral glycoprotein expression levels and ultimately promoting the production of infectious virus.
