Hemagglutinin Stalk Domain (HA stalk)

Target
HA stalk
Molecular classification
Viral protein, Membrane fusion protein, Hemagglutinin subunit
01

Overview

The hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain is a highly conserved region of the influenza A virus HA protein, crucial for mediating membrane fusion during viral entry. It is the target of broadly neutralizing antibodies and is a focus for universal influenza vaccine development. It consists of parts of both the HA1 and HA2 subunits.
