PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a highly conserved N-terminal signal sequence
  • Arg-rich basic region containing up to six tetrarepeats of consensus XXRG (where X is G, A or S)
  • a hydrophobic region of 20 residues with strong homology to PrP
  • a C-terminal peptide predicted to be a signal sequence for glycophosphotidylinositol (GPI)-anchor attachment, and a functionally conserved and ancient activity domain contributing to neuroprotection
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to PRNP
    Homologene
    FAMILY prion protein family
    CATEGORY regulatory
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in GTP binding
  • potential modulator for the biological actions of normal and abnormal PRNP
  • has neuroprotective properties
