Spike Glycoprotein S1 N-terminal Domain (SARS-CoV-2) (Spike S1 NTD)

Target
Spike S1 NTD
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral protein, Receptor
01

Overview

The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein is located at residues ~14–305. The NTD plays important roles in viral infectivity, immune evasion, and as a target for neutralizing antibodies. It potentially modulates interactions with host factors beyond ACE2 and serves as a key immunogenic region, making it highly relevant for therapeutic antibody development, vaccine design, and diagnostics research.
