Spike protein S1. Attaches the virion to the cell membrane by interacting with host receptor, initiating the infection. The major receptor is host ACE2 (PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32155444, PubMed:33607086). When S2/S2' has been cleaved, binding to the receptor triggers direct fusion at the cell membrane (PubMed:34561887). When S2/S2' has not been cleaved, binding to the receptor results in internalization of the virus by endocytosis leading to fusion of the virion membrane with the host endosomal membrane (PubMed:32075877, PubMed:32221306). Alternatively, may use NRP1/NRP2 (PubMed:33082294, PubMed:33082293) and integrin as entry receptors (PubMed:35150743). The use of NRP1/NRP2 receptors may explain the tropism of the virus in human olfactory epithelial cells, which express these molecules at high levels but ACE2 at low levels (PubMed:33082293). The stalk domain of S contains three hinges, giving the head unexpected orientational freedom (PubMed:32817270). Spike protein S2. Precursor of the fusion protein processed in the biosynthesis of the S protein and the formation of virus particle. Mediates fusion of the virion and cellular membranes by functioning as a class I viral fusion protein. Contains two viral fusion peptides that are unmasked after cleavage. The S2/S2' cleavage occurs during virus entry at the cell membrane by host TMPRSS2 (PubMed:32142651) or during endocytosis by host CSTL (PubMed:32703818, PubMed:34159616). In either case, this triggers an extensive and irreversible conformational change leading to fusion of the viral envelope with the cellular cytoplasmic membrane, releasing viral genomic RNA into the host cell cytoplasm (PubMed:34561887). Under the current model, the protein has at least three conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During fusion of the viral and target cell membranes, the coiled coil regions (heptad repeats) adopt a trimer-of-hairpins structure and position the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. Formation of this structure appears to promote apposition and subsequent fusion of viral and target cell membranes. Spike protein S2'. Subunit of the fusion protein that is processed upon entry into the host cell. Mediates fusion of the virion and cellular membranes by functioning as a class I viral fusion protein. Contains a viral fusion peptide that is unmasked after S2 cleavage. This cleavage can occur at the cell membrane by host TMPRSS2 or during endocytosis by host CSTL (PubMed:32703818, PubMed:34159616).

The immunogen for ab272504 is within the last 50 aa of the spike protein - a peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Spike glycoprotein. The Extracellular domain (ECD) is from aa 1 to 1208 (full length 1273aa). Therefore, this antibody detects the transmembrane and cytoplasm domains at the C terminus, but does not detect the ECD (which is the region expressed in many commercially available spike proteins). ab272504 can be used for the detection of full length spike protein and spike protein in COVID-19 patient samples. It will detect 4 ng of free peptide at 1 μg/mL.

Reagent has more than 76 citations. SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein antibody is essential for detecting and studying the spike protein, aiding in COVID-19 research, vaccine development and therapeutic studies
The SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein also known as the COVID spike protein is an important component of the virus responsible for COVID-19. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa and is found on the surface of the virus. It facilitates viral entry into host cells by binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. The spike protein consists of two subunits S1 and S2 where S1 contains the receptor-binding domain (RBD) responsible for engaging with ACE2 while S2 mediates viral and host membrane fusion.
The spike protein serves as a primary target for the host immune response. It is part of the viral envelope complex essential for the virus's infectivity. The spike protein undergoes structural changes during host cell entry transitioning from a prefusion to a postfusion conformation. This ability to change structure is important for facilitating membrane fusion. Anti-spike antibodies such as those found in convalescent plasma and generated by vaccines target this protein aiming to neutralize the virus and prevent infection.
The spike glycoprotein is integral to the viral infection and replication process. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) pathway plays a significant role as ACE2 a critical component is the entry point for the virus. The spike protein's interaction with ACE2 disrupts the RAS balance leading to potential downstream effects. Additionally the spike protein's role in membrane fusion links it to the endosomal sorting complex pathways necessary for the trafficking of viral particles within host cells.
The spike protein's association with COVID-19 makes it central in understanding disease progression and potential complications. Its interaction with ACE2 is not only significant for viral entry but also links to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) as both viruses exploit this receptor for entry. Moreover the association with inflammatory-related pathways indicates the spike protein's potential in driving cytokine storms which are severe immune responses contributing to the disease’s morbidity. Anti-spike antibodies and therapies are designed to mitigate these effects emphasizing the protein's importance in therapeutic strategies.
