Target intelligence / Profile preview

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein Receptor Binding Domain (RBD)

Target
RBD
Molecular classification
Viral protein, Glycoprotein, Receptor Ligand
01

Overview

The receptor binding domain (RBD) is a critical region within the spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, responsible for binding to the ACE2 receptor on human cells and initiating viral entry. It is a major target for neutralizing antibodies and vaccines.
