Neuraminidase (NA) catalyzes the removal of terminal sialic acid residues from viral and cellular glycoconjugates. The enzyme facilitates viral release during viral budding by cleaving terminal sialic acids on glycosylated hemagglutinin and prevent self-aggregation. NA may additionally facilitate the cell-to-cell spread of the virus by removing sialic acid residues from cell surfaces. Cleavage of sialic acid residues may also facilitate viral movement through mucus. NA plays a role in determining host range, replication and virulence.
EN
Neuraminidase is denoted by an N number in the Influenza strain. There are 11 subtypes of NA in influenza A viruses.
