Biological function summary
The glycoprotein G participates actively in the virions' ability to infect host cells by mediating the adsorption of the virus to the cell membrane which leads to membrane fusion. This protein exists as a trimer on the viral envelope and functions in concert with other viral proteins. Additionally the G protein is immunogenic inducing production of neutralizing antibodies making it a target for vaccine development.
Pathways
G protein's biological function is integral to the viral life cycle particularly in pathways related to host cell entry and immune evasion. It interacts with several host proteins including nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) to facilitate viral entry. Furthermore it plays a role in the evasion of the host's immune system by gradually changing its surface epitopes.

General info
Function
Attaches the virus to host cellular receptor, inducing endocytosis of the virion by using different host proteins including TFRC, GRM2 and ITGB1 (By similarity). In the endosome, the acidic pH induces conformational changes in the glycoprotein trimer, which trigger fusion between virus and cell membrane. There is convincing in vitro evidence that the muscular form of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), the neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) bind glycoprotein and thereby facilitate rabies virus entry into cells (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the lyssavirus glycoprotein family.
Post-translational modifications
Glycosylated and palmitoylated by host. Glycosylation is crucial for glycoprotein export at the cell surface (By similarity).
