An article on influenza hemagglutinin has not yet been provided here.
Meanwhile, there is some introductory material at 1hgf.
Influenza Hemagglutinin is one of two protiens found on the surface of an influenza virus. Hemagglutinin plays a key role in both host cell recognition and membrane fusion.
Structure
The hemagglutinin protien is initially assembled into a homo-trimer. Each of the three identical proteins consists of 549 amino acids. Later during the maturation of the virus, the monomers are cleaved by a protease to generate two chains known as HA1 and HA2.
