This peptide sequence represents a second furin-like cleavage site of the Spike (S) protein also thought to participate in the process of viral entry into host cell. The sequence at the S2 site (KR↓SF) contains two basic residues (P1 and P2) and a hydrophobic P3 residue. This site is identical between the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. This peptide has been labeled with QXL®520 and 5-FAM.
