Plays a role in the protection against host NK cell cytotoxicity by upregulating the cell surface expression of HLA-E independent of TAP (HLA-E has an inhibitory effect on the cytotoxic activity of the NK cell). Promotes also cell surface expression of UL18, another viral protein involved in NK cell evasion (By similarity).
