Neuraminidase protein (NA)

Target
NA
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Glycoprotein
01

Overview

Neuraminidase (NA) is a major surface glycoprotein found on influenza A viruses, including the H5N1 subtype. It functions as a sialidase, cleaving terminal sialic acid residues to facilitate the release of progeny virions from infected host cells. NA is essential for efficient viral spread and is a key target for antiviral drugs like oseltamivir and zanamivir. However, mutations in the NA gene can lead to drug resistance and antigenic drift, posing challenges for treatment and vaccine development.
