Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Protein (H5N1) (HA (H5N1))
- Target
- HA (H5N1)
- Molecular classification
- Viral Surface Glycoprotein, Hemagglutinin, Type I transmembrane protein
01
Overview
The Influenza A virus hemagglutinin protein (H5 subtype) mediates both cell binding via sialic acid recognition and subsequent membrane fusion after endocytosis. Its structure—a trimer with distinct head/stem domains—underpins its function as both an essential factor in infectivity and as a key immunogen targeted by vaccines. Variability within its sequence drives antigenic evolution while certain features such as polybasic cleavage sites contribute directly to pathogenicity in highly virulent strains like H5N1.
