Preferred term

PrPC Proteins  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Cp 33-35
  • Cp33-35, Scrapie
  • PrP sen
  • PrP-sen
  • Scrapie Amyloid Precursor Protein

Note

  • PrPC stands for PRion Protein Cellular; do not confuse with PRPSC PROTEINS which are scrapie prion proteins

Scope note

  • Normal cellular isoform of PRION PROTEINS encoded by a chromosomal gene and found in normal and scrapie-infected brain tissue, and other normal tissue. PrPC are protease-sensitive proteins whose function is unknown. Posttranslational modification of PrPC into PrPSC leads to infectivity.

History note

  • 95; SCRAPIE AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN was NM 1989-94
