[Molluscum contagiosum virus MC54L protein] This protein is encoded by an open reading frame of Molluscum contagiosum virus (Smith et al, 2000). It is related to a secreted protein, vIL18BP, encoded by vaccinia, ectromelia and cowpox viruses. The protein binds to IL18 (Xiang and Moss, 1999) and may contribute to the lack of inflammatory responses characteristic of molluscum contagiosum virus lesions. For other viral proteins binding to IL18 see also: MC53L, ectromelia poxvirus p13, D7L, vIL18BP [viral IL18 binding protein].
MC54L has been shown to be produced as a secreted full-length molecule that binds cell surface glycosaminoglycans
