Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity  No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented

Binding Target  membrane

Mechanism  The 6-HB structure formed by HR1 and HR2 regions in the S2 subunit of HCoVs plays a key role during the viral membrane fusion process,peptides derived from the HR2 regions can competitively inhibit viral 6-HB formation, thereby preventing viral fusion and entry into host cells.
