== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A0A0J9X246_9INFA A0A0J9X246_9INFA] Binds to sialic acid-containing receptors on the cell surface, bringing about the attachment of the virus particle to the cell. This attachment induces virion internalization of about two third of the virus particles through clathrin-dependent endocytosis and about one third through a clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. Plays a major role in the determination of host range restriction and virulence. Class I viral fusion protein. Responsible for penetration of the virus into the cell cytoplasm by mediating the fusion of the membrane of the endocytosed virus particle with the endosomal membrane. Low pH in endosomes induces an irreversible conformational change in HA2, releasing the fusion hydrophobic peptide. Several trimers are required to form a competent fusion pore.[RuleBase:RU003324]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
During 2013, three new avian influenza A virus subtypes, A(H7N9), A(H6N1) and A(H10N8), resulted in human infections. While the A(H7N9) virus resulted in a significant epidemic in China across 19 provinces and municipalities, both A(H6N1) and A(H10N8) viruses resulted in only a few human infections. This study focuses on the major surface glycoprotein hemagglutinin from both of these novel human viruses. The detailed structural and glycan microarray analyses presented here highlight that both A(H6N1) and A(H10N8) virus hemagglutinins retain a strong avian receptor binding preference, and thus currently pose a low risk for sustained human infections. IMPORTANCE: Human infections with zoonotic influenza virus subtypes continue to be a great public health concern. We report detailed structural analysis and glycan microarray data for recombinant hemagglutinins from A(H6N1) and A(H10N8) viruses, isolated from human infections in 2013, and compare them with hemagglutinins of avian origin. This is the first structural report of an H6 HA, and our results should further the understanding of these viruses, and provide useful information to aid continuous surveillance of these zoonotic influenza viruses.
