MeSH Heading: Prion Proteins
Tree Number(s): D09.400.430.890.448.600; D12.776.395.550.448.600; D12.776.543.484.500.625; D12.776.543.550.418.600; D12.776.785.340
Unique ID: D000072002
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000072002
Scope Note: Membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoproteins that may aggregate into rod-like structures. The prion protein (PRNP) gene is characterized by five TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES that encode a highly unstable protein region of five octapeptide repeats. Mutations in the repeat region and elsewhere in this gene are associated with CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE; FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA; GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER DISEASE; Huntington disease-like 1, and KURU.
