N-terminal Domain of Spike Glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 (NTD)
- Target
- NTD
- Molecular classification
- Glycoprotein, Viral Protein, Spike Protein Subdomain
01
Overview
The N-terminal domain (NTD) is a subdomain within the S1 region of the spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. It is located at the extreme N-terminal end of each S1 subunit. While not directly responsible for ACE2 binding, it is a target for neutralizing antibodies and mutations or deletions in certain regions have been associated with altered infectivity or immune escape. The NTD plays a role in viral entry, immune evasion, and structural stabilization of the spike protein.
