SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein S1 Subunit (S1)

Target
S1
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral protein, Surface antigen
01

Overview

The SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein S1 subunit is a critical component of the viral spike (S) protein, mediating the virus's entry into host cells by binding to ACE2. It comprises the NTD, RBD/CTD, SD1, and SD2 domains and is heavily glycosylated. The S1 subunit is a major target for neutralizing antibodies and is used in vaccine designs and diagnostic assays. It also plays a role in immune activation, potentially contributing to cytokine release syndrome.
