Frequent Missense and Insertion/Deletion Polymorphisms in the Ovine Shadoo Gene Parallel Species-Specific Variation in PrP
BACKGROUND: The cellular prion protein PrP(C) is encoded by the Prnp gene. This protein is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and serves as a precursor to the misfolded PrP(Sc) isoform in prion diseases. The prototype prion disease is scrapie in sheep, and whereas Prnp exhibits common mis...
