Hemagglutinin Protein of Influenza A Virus Subtype H7N9 (HA)

Target
HA
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral surface protein, Fusion protein
01

Overview

Hemagglutinin (HA) is a surface glycoprotein found on the envelope of Influenza A virus subtype H7N9. It is responsible for binding to sialic acid receptors on host cells and mediating fusion between the viral envelope and host endosomal membrane, enabling viral entry. HA's receptor specificity and mutations significantly impact host range, virulence, and immune evasion, making it a critical target for antiviral drug and vaccine development.
