Viral Matrix Proteins

Proteins associated with the inner surface of the lipid bilayer of the viral envelope. These proteins have been implicated in control of viral transcription and may possibly serve as the glue that binds the nucleocapsid to the appropriate membrane site during viral budding from the host cell.
