MeSH Heading: Spike Glycoprotein, Coronavirus
Tree Number(s): D12.776.543.512.500.665; D12.776.964.970.880.910.665
Unique ID: D064370
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D064370
Scope Note: A class I viral fusion protein that forms the characteristic spikes, or peplomers, found on the viral surface that mediate virus attachment, fusion, and entry into the host cell. During virus maturation, it is cleaved into two subunits: S1, which binds to receptors in the host cell, and S2, which mediates membrane fusion.
Entry Term(s): E2 Spike Glycoprotein, Coronavirus; Glycoprotein S, Coronavirus; Spike Glycoprotein S1, Coronavirus; Spike Glycoprotein, Bovine Coronavirus; Spike Glycoproteins, Coronavirus; Spike Protein S2, Coronavirus; Spike Protein, Coronavirus
