This family consists of several latent membrane protein 1 or LMP1s mostly from Epstein-Barr virus. LMP1 of EBV is a 62-65 kDa plasma membrane protein possessing six membrane spanning regions, a short cytoplasmic N-terminus and a long cytoplasmic carboxy tail of 200 amino acids. EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for EBV-mediated transformation and has been associated with several cases of malignancies. EBV-like viruses in Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) have been associated with high lymphoma rates in immunosuppressed monkeys
