Influenza A H7 Hemagglutinin (H7 HA)

Target
H7 HA
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral protein, Hemagglutinin
01

Overview

Influenza A H7 hemagglutinin (HA) is a surface glycoprotein essential for viral entry. It mediates attachment to host cells via sialic acid binding and facilitates membrane fusion after endocytosis. H7 HA is a major target for neutralizing antibodies and a key determinant of viral infectivity and pathogenicity. Variations in glycosylation and amino acid sequence contribute to antigenic drift and impact immune recognition.

02

Mechanism of action

Attachment to sialic acid receptors on host cells, followed by pH-dependent conformational change leading to membrane fusion and viral entry. Antibodies can neutralize by blocking receptor binding or fusion.
