BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) , formerly known as 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease, is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus closely related to the SARS virus. The disease is the cause of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak (1) . SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh member of the enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses that are able to infect humans. The SARS-CoV-2 genome, like other coronaviruses, encodes for multiple structural and nonstructural proteins. The structural proteins include spike protein (S) , envelope protein (E) , membrane glycoprotein (M) , nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (N) , and the nonstructural proteins include open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) , ORF3a, ORF6, ORF7a, ORF8, and ORF10 (2) .The membrane (M) protein or matrix protein is the most abundant structural protein and defines the shape of the viral envelope (3) . It is an integral membrane protein involved in the budding of the viral particles and interacts with S (Spike) protein. It involves in organization of the nucleoprotein inside, which includes many copies of the N (nucleocapsid) protein bound to the genomic RNA. The M protein holds dominant cellular immunogenicity and has been determined as a protective antigen in humoral responses, which suggests it would serve as a potential target in vaccine design (4) .
