CC   -!- FUNCTION: May regulate immune response to the intracellular capsid in
CC       acting as a T-cell tolerogen, by having an immunoregulatory effect
CC       which prevents destruction of infected cells by cytotoxic T-cells.

CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimerizes. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:
CC       Event=Alternative initiation; Named isoforms=2;
CC       Name=External core antigen;
