CC   -!- FUNCTION: Intermediate capsid protein that self assembles to form an
CC       icosahedral capsid with a T=13 symmetry, which consists of 230 trimers
CC       of VP6, with channels at each of its five-fold vertices. This capsid
CC       constitutes the middle concentric layer of the viral mature particle.
CC       The innermost VP2 capsid and the intermediate VP6 capsid remain intact
CC       following cell entry to protect the dsRNA from degradation and to
CC       prevent unfavorable antiviral responses in the host cell during all the
CC       replication cycle of the virus. Nascent transcripts are transcribed
CC       within the structural confines of this double-layered particle (DLP)
CC       and are extruded through the channels at the five-fold axes. VP6 is
CC       required for the transcription activity of the DLP.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion. Note=Component of the intermediate
CC       capsid. Also found in spherical cytoplasmic structures, called virus
CC       factories, that appear early after infection and are the site of viral
CC       replication and packaging.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homotrimer. Interacts with the inner capsid protein VP2.
CC       Interacts with the outer capsid glycoprotein VP7.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the rotavirus VP6 family.
