gp160, code for a glycoprotein that provides an outer coat for the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The outer coat, in turn, is composed of gp120, which protrudes from the virus surface, and gp41, which is embedded in the envelope coat. 2, record 1, English, - glycoprotein%20120
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Free gp120 in the body may be toxic to cells on its own, causing CD4 cell depletion in the immune system through apoptosis and neurological damage leading to AIDS dementia complex. 2, record 1, English, - glycoprotein%20120

Le VIH est constitué d'un noyau central contenant le génome viral et des enzymes dont la principale est la transcriptase inverse; ce noyau est entouré d'une membrane lipidique externe exhibant plusieurs projections [spikes] contenant un antigène, la glycoprotéine 120, qui favorise l'adhésion du virus à la surface de la cellule exprimant le récepteur CD4. 3, record 1, French, - glycoprot%C3%A9ine%20120
