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. This
CC       immune regulation may predispose to chronicity during perinatal
CC       infections and prevent severe liver injury during adult infections.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimerizes. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}. Host
CC       nucleus {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}.

CC       Name=Capsid protein;
CC         IsoId=P03149-1; Sequence=External;
CC   -!- PTM: Phosphorylated. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}.
CC   -!- PTM: Cleaved by host furin. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04076}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the orthohepadnavirus precore antigen family.
