| Core Tip |
The available evidence supports a well-defined for the hepatitis B virus-encoded X protein (HBx) protein in viral-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. The progression cell cycle, transactivation potential, compromised DNA repair, inhibition the tumor suppressor gene and senescence-related factors are few of the key pathways by which HBx is known to promote pathogenesis. The activation and inhibition of cellular calcium and tyrosine kinase signaling pathways are some of the other pathways modulated by HBx expression. Individually charged amino acids (K-130, V-131, D-120, 121) and or steches of amino acids (132-140) present in the carboxy-terminus of HBx protein seems to enhance the protein’s ability to deregulates cellular processes. |
