Molecular backbone cartoons of some viral receptors. Receptors diverge widely in their structure and physiological function. The amino and carboxy termini are shown, together with important disulfide bonds and the probable domains that bind virus. αvβ6: integrin chains (integrin dimers serve as receptors for many different viruses); ICAM: intercellular adhesion molecule; CCR5: chemokine receptor 5; CAT: cationic amino acid transporter; CEACAM: carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule; HAVcr-1: hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1; PiT: inorganic phosphate transporter; PVR: poliovirus receptor; Viruses: polio: poliovirus; rhino: rhinovirus, major group; FMD: foot and mouth disease virus; HAV: hepatitis A virus; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; MHV: mouse hepatitis virus (a coronovirus); BLV: bovine leukemia virus; ALV-A: avian leukosis virus A; MLV-E: murine leukemia virus E; GALV: gibbon ape leukemia virus; MLV-A: murine leukemia virus A; FeLV-B; feline leukemia virus B.
