Protein	Function
M	Matrix protein. Non-glycosylated phosphorylated protein located external to the nucleocapsid layer, where it acts as a bridge between the lipid bilayer envelope and the nucleocapsid.
N	Nucleoprotein. Structural protein involved in the packaging of the viral RNA
P	Phosphoprotein. Interacts with L protein in the RNA replication.
L	RNA Polymerase. Replicates the viral RNA.
NS1/NS2	Non structural proteins. Involved in the evasion of the innate immune response
M2-1/M2-2	Regulatory proteins, involved in the regulation of the transcription and replication of the genome
SH	Small hydrophobic protein. Involved in the immune evasion (?)
G	Glycoprotein G, involved in: docking of the virion to the C×3C Chemochine Receptor 1 (CX3CR1) and glycosaminoglycans of the cell surface; inhibiting production of Interferon type I; promotion of Th-2 polarized response
F	Glycoprotein F, fusion protein, eliciting the fusion between the virion and the targeted cell, with resulting infection of the cytoplasm. Target protein: surface nucleolin
