The Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen also known as HBV core antigen or Hep B core is an important component of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This antigen often referred to simply as 'core' forms the nucleocapsid of the virus. The HBV core antigen consists of a protein structure with a mass of approximately 21 kilodaltons. It is primarily expressed within the hepatocytes the liver cells where it plays a pivotal role in viral replication and assembly. The HBV core antigen is also referred to in studies as HBV protein or B core./ Biological function summary/ The hepatitis B core antigen is integral for the assembly of the viral capsid which protects the viral genome during infection. It functions as part of a larger complex with other viral proteins including the pre-core and envelope proteins to facilitate viral lifecycle processes. This antigen allows for the encapsidation of viral RNA and serves as a scaffold for reverse transcription of the viral genome ensuring replication fidelity and successful infection spread./
