'''Virus coat proteins''' (VCP) or capsid proteins coat the virus<ref>PMID:19825049</ref>. The various VCPs are designated as Vp1, Vp2, etc. The VCP P domain (protruding domain) in noroviruses binds histo blood group antigen receptors. The outer capsid protein '''VP4''' is a virus spike-forming protein which mediates the virial attachment to the host epithelial cell receptors. VP4 is an outer capsid protein of non-enveloped viruses. VP4 attaches to sialic acid or to integrin heterodimers<ref>PMID:2538649</ref>. VP4 domains include: '''VP5*''' which forms the foot of the spike and acts in the permeabilization of the cell membrane and '''VP8*''' which forms the head of the spike and binds to sialic acid. | '''Virus coat proteins''' (VCP) or capsid proteins coat the virus<ref>PMID:19825049</ref>.
