CC   -!- FUNCTION: Envelope protein part of the entry-fusion complex responsible
CC       for the virus membrane fusion with host cell membrane during virus
CC       entry. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Envelope protein part of a stable entry-fusion complex (EFC)
CC       which is at least composed of proteins A16, A21, A28, G3, G9, H2, J5,
CC       and L5. Formation of the viral membrane is necessary for the assembly
CC       of the complex (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type
CC       III membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Component of the mature virion
CC       (MV) membrane. The mature virion is located in the cytoplasm of
CC       infected cells and is probably released by cell lysis (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- PTM: Contains two intramolecular disulfide bonds. They are created by
CC       the viral disulfide bond formation pathway, a poxvirus-specific pathway
CC       that operates on the cytoplasmic side of the MV membranes (By
CC       similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the chordopoxvirinae A21 family. {ECO:0000305}.
