Prion protein facilitates retinal iron uptake and is cleaved at the β-site: Implications for retinal iron homeostasis in prion disorders

Prion disease-associated retinal degeneration is attributed to PrP-scrapie (PrP(Sc)), a misfolded isoform of prion protein (PrP(C)) that accumulates in the neuroretina. However, a lack of temporal and spatial correlation between PrP(Sc) and cytotoxicity suggests the contribution of host factors. We...
