HA/Hemagglutinin Protein, H5N1 (G2U0T8, HEK293, His)

The HA/hemagglutinin protein binds to sialic acid receptors, initiating viral attachment to cells.Internalization occurs via clathrin-dependent or -independent pathways.HA/Hemagglutinin Protein, H5N1 (G2U0T8, HEK293, His) is the recombinant Virus-derived HA/Hemagglutinin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

The Hemagglutinin Protein (HA) binds to sialic acid-containing receptors on the cell surface, initiating the attachment of the virus particle to the cell. This attachment leads to the internalization of the virion, either through clathrin-dependent endocytosis or through a clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. HA also plays a crucial role in determining the host range restriction and virulence of the virus. As a class I viral fusion protein, HA is responsible for facilitating the penetration of the virus into the cell cytoplasm by mediating the fusion of the membrane of the endocytosed virus particle with the endosomal membrane. In the low pH environment of endosomes, HA2 undergoes an irreversible conformational change, resulting in the release of the fusion hydrophobic peptide. Multiple HA trimers are required to form a competent fusion pore.
