| description | This entry contains Influenza virus matrix protein 2. It is an integral membrane protein that is expressed on the infected cell surface and incorporated into virions where it is a minor component. The protein spans the viral membrane with an extracellular amino-terminus and a cytoplasmic carboxy-terminus. The transmembrane domain of the M2 protein forms the channel pore. The M2 protein, which forms a homotetramer, has H ion channel which was found to be regulated by pH []and may have a pivotal role in the biology of Influenza virus infection []. |
