Major surface glycoprotein G

UniProtKB accession:  P03423

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Attaches the virion to the host cell membrane by interacting with heparan sulfate, initiating the infection (PubMed:3655746, PubMed:10400758, PubMed:10864656). Interacts with host CX3CR1, the receptor for the CX3C chemokine fractalkine, to modulate the immune response and facilitate infection (PubMed:26658574, PubMed:11477410, PubMed:26107373). Unlike the other paramyxovirus attachment proteins, lacks both neuraminidase and hemagglutinating activities (Probable).
