Plays a role in virion attachment to host B-lymphocytes, through binding to leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II and subsequently participates in fusion of the virion with host membranes. May act as a tropism switch that directs fusion with B-lymphocytes and inhibits fusion with epithelial cells. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa34-223 from Epstein-Barr virus Glycoprotein 42, fused to 6X His-Tag at N-terminal and 6X His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
