July 07, 2023 TMEM106B is a receptor mediating ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 cell entry https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)00645-1 https://twitter.com/vipintukur/status/1677561169324769280 Vipin M. Vashishtha @vipintukur ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 infection! A new study shows that #TMEM106B, a lysosomal transmembrane protein, can serve as an alternative receptor for SARS2 entry into ACE2-negative cells. Spike mute E484D increased TMEM106B binding, thereby enhancing TMEM106B-mediated entry 1/
