Some paramyxoviruses and their receptors.

Virus	Attachment protein	Receptor(s)
Genus: Avulavirus
Newcastle disease virus	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Genus: Respirovirus
Human parainfluenza viruses 1 and 3	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Sendai virus	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Bovine parainfluenza virus 3	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Genus: Rubulavirus
Mumps virus	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Parainfluenza virus 5	HN	Sialylated proteins and lipids
Genus: Morbillivirus
Measles virus	H	CD150 (SLAM) and/or CD46^*
Genus: Henipavirus
Hendra virus	G	EphrinB2 and B3^‡
Nipah virus	G	EphrinB2 and B3^‡

The H protein of measles virus mediates binding to either CD46 or CD150 (SLAM) [17–21].

^‡

EphrinB2 and ephrinB3, ligands for the Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases, have been identified as cellular receptors recognized by the G glycoproteins of Hendra and Nipah [24–26].

G: Glycoprotein; H: Hemagglutinin; HN: Hemagglutinin–neuraminidase; SLAM: Signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule.
