| UniProt functional annotation for O89343 | |||
| UniProt code: O89343. |
| Organism: | Hendra virus (isolate Horse/Autralia/Hendra/1994). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Riboviria; Orthornavirae; Negarnaviricota; Haploviricotina; Monjiviricetes; Mononegavirales; Paramyxoviridae; Orthoparamyxovirinae; Henipavirus. | |
| Function: | Attaches the virus to sialic acid-containing cell receptors and thereby initiating infection. Binding of glycoprotein G to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Virion membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Host cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the paramyxoviruses hemagglutinin-neuraminidase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
