Attaches the virus to cell receptors and thereby initiating infection. Binding of H protein to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion. May use human CD46 and/or SLAMF1 as receptors for viral entry into the cell. The high degree of interaction between H and MCP/CD46 results in down-regulation of the latter from the surface of infected cells, rendering them more sensitive to c3b-mediated complement lysis. Partial recombinant protein corresponding to aa303-617 from Measles virus Hemagglutinin glycoprotein, fused to 6X His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
