Forms a proton-selective ion channel that is necessary for the efficient release of the viral genome during virus entry. After attaching to the cell surface, the virion enters the cell by endocytosis. Acidification of the endosome triggers M2 ion channel activity. The influx of protons into virion interior is believed to disrupt interactions between the viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP), matrix protein 1 (M1), and lipid bilayers, thereby freeing the viral genome from interaction with viral proteins and enabling RNA segments to migrate to the host cell nucleus, where influenza virus RNA transcription and replication occur. Also plays a role in viral proteins secretory pathway. Elevates the intravesicular pH of normally acidic compartments, such as trans-Golgi network, preventing newly formed hemagglutinin from premature switching to the fusion-active conformation.

The Influenza A Virus M2 Protein also known as M2 ion channel or matrix protein 2 plays an essential role in the viral life cycle. This protein has a mass of approximately 97 amino acids and is expressed on the envelope of the Influenza A virus. It functions as a proton-selective channel facilitating the acidification of the viral interior after the virus enters the host cell. This acidification process is important for the uncoating of the viral genome allowing subsequent replication of the virus in host cells.
The M2 protein from Influenza A virus participates in virus assembly budding and release. The protein operates as a tetramer creating a channel across the viral membrane. This channel is essential for the correct function and structure of the virus playing an important role in membrane fusion and release of the viral particles. It often works in conjunction with another matrix protein M1 which assists in stabilizing the integrity of the viral structure.
The M2 Influenza protein is integral to the viral replication and assembly pathway. It aligns with the function of the viral ribonucleoprotein complex and is significant in the viral entry and exit pathways. Additionally the connection to the M1 matrix protein highlights its coordinated role in facilitating the assembly and release of new virions from the infected cells emphasizing its necessity in productive viral replication.
The Influenza A virus M2 protein is directly related to the pathogenesis of seasonal influenza. Antiviral drugs like amantadine and rimantadine target this ion channel to disrupt viral replication. Resistance mutations in the M2 protein can influence the efficacy of these drugs impacting treatment outcomes. There is also a link with immune system responses where M2 interactions with other viral proteins can modulate host immune evasion mechanisms.
