LAMTOR5 encodes a protein that specifically complexes with the C-terminus of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx). The function of this protein is to negatively regulate HBx activity and thus to alter the replication life cycle of the virus. LAMTOR5 (Late Endosomal/Lysosomal Adaptor, MAPK And MTOR Activator 5) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with LAMTOR5 include Hepatitis B and Hepatitis. Among its related pathways are RET signaling and Cellular Senescence (REACTOME).
