Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Spike-Prot B.1.617.2 (HEK)

02MT00236

The SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (S) mediates the entry of the virus into target cells via its interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, thereby initiating the infection. It forms a homotrimeric structure on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and represents the major target for diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The ectodomain of the S glycoprotein comprises the N-terminal S1 subunit, including the receptor binding domain (RBD) and the C-terminal S2 subunit. The ectodomain spans from aa12 to aa1213 followed by a transmembrane helix beginning at aa1214–aa1234. The
