Target intelligence / Profile preview

Viral attachment protein gp120 (gp120)

Target
gp120
Molecular classification
Viral envelope glycoprotein
01

Overview

Gp120 is a viral envelope glycoprotein found on the surface of HIV particles. It plays a critical role in the virus's ability to attach to and enter host cells by binding to CD4 and chemokine co-receptors on T-helper lymphocytes.

02

Mechanism of action

Blocking interaction with CD4, preventing HIV attachment to target cells

03

Biological functions

Viral attachmentMembrane fusion
04

Disease associations

Infection
05

Safety considerations

High concentrations during infection can dysregulate T-cell function
06

Interacting drugs

Gp120 inhibitors
