== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PCPP_BPT4 PCPP_BPT4] The pathway of bacteriophage T4 head assembly begins with the formation of a prohead bound to the bacterial cell membrane which is later converted to the mature, DNA-containing head. During maturation, all but one of the prohead proteins are proteolytically processed by a phage-coded protease which is formed by autocatalytic cleavage of the product of gene 21 (gp21). Protease gp21 has been tentatively located in the center of the prohead core.
