The Biological Function of the Prion Protein: A Cell Surface Scaffold of Signaling Modules
The prion glycoprotein (PrP(C)) is mostly located at the cell surface, tethered to the plasma membrane through a glycosyl-phosphatydil inositol (GPI) anchor. Misfolding of PrP(C) is associated with the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), whereas its normal conformer serves as a recepto...
