Protein detail:


Protein name Matrix Protein 2
Uniprot protein ID C3W5X3
Protein length 97 amino acids
Protein description The M2 protein channel consists of 97 residues: (1) an ectodomain (residues 1-24); (2) the pore-forming TM helix (residues 25-43); (3) an amphiphilic C-terminal helix (residues 47-60); and (4)a cytoplasmic tail (residues 61-97). The influenza A virus M2 protein, a tetrameric type III integral transmembrane (TM) protein, is known to play an essential role in viral replication by mediating the acidification and uncoating of endosomally entrapped virus. The tetrameric M2 in the viral membrane functions as pH-dependent proton channels to equilibrate pH across the viral membrane during entry and across the trans-Golgi membrane of infected cells during viral maturation.

Evidence In M2 sequences, the predominance of the genetic adamantanes-resistant A(H3N2) strains during the 2006/07 season (13/15, 87%) and later (100%) by acquiring the S31N mutation [12] were observed.
