Fusion Glycoprotein F (RSV F protein)

Target: RSV F protein
Molecular classification: Viral Fusion Protein, Type I transmembrane glycoprotein

Overview

The fusion glycoprotein F (RSV F protein) is a critical surface protein of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), essential for viral entry into host cells and subsequent cell-to-cell spread. It mediates fusion between the viral envelope and host cell membrane, and also cell-to-cell fusion leading to syncytia. It's a major target for antiviral drug development and vaccine design.
