The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 plays a central role in virus attachment to the host cell, and in getting the RNA genome of the virus into the host cell via fusion of the virus and host cell membranes, initiating infection.
The [[SARS-CoV-2 protein S|spike protein of SARS-CoV-2]] plays a central role in [[SARS-CoV-2 spike protein priming by furin|virus attachment to the ACE2 receptor on host cells]], and in getting the RNA genome of the virus into the host cell via fusion of the virus and host cell membranes, initiating infection.
