neuraminidaselike
Neuraminidaselike is a term used in molecular biology and virology to describe proteins that share structural or functional similarities with viral neuraminidase enzymes. Viral neuraminidases, such as those found in influenza viruses, are critical for the replication cycle of the virus. They function as glycoside hydrolases, cleaving sialic acid residues from the surface of host cells and newly formed viral particles. This activity is essential for the release of progeny virions from infected cells and for preventing the aggregation of viral particles.
Proteins that are neuraminidaselike may possess enzymatic activity similar to viral neuraminidases, or they might have
