Initiates virion attachment to host B-lymphocyte cell, leading to virus entry. Acts by binding to host CR2 at the surface of B-lymphocytes, facilitating the binding of viral glycoprotein gp42 to HLA class II molecules. Attachment triggers virion-host membrane fusion and invasion of the host cell. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-493 from Epstein-Barr Virus Envelope Glycoprotein, fused to His-SUMO-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
