major prion protein (PrP) is encoded in the human body by the PRNP gene also known as CD230 (cluster of differentiation 230). Expression of the protein is...

A prion /ˈpriːɒn/ is a misfolded protein that can induce misfolding of normal variants of the same protein and trigger cellular death. Prions cause prion...

animal with no prion protein mutation. Inherited TSE occurs in animals carrying a rare mutant prion allele, which expresses prion proteins that contort...

abnormal folding of a protein known as a prion. Infectious prions are misfolded proteins that can cause normally folded proteins to also become misfolded...

encephalopathy (TSE) caused by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins (prions), which leads to symptoms such as tremors and loss of coordination...

accumulation of prions in the central nervous system, and immunohistochemical staining and ELISA can also be used to demonstrate the protein. No treatment...

following the onset of symptoms is 13 months. It is caused by prions, which are misfolded proteins. Spread is believed to be primarily due to eating bovine...

encephalopathies (TSE) due to the causative role played by PRNP, the human prion protein. GSS was first reported by the Austrian physicians Josef Gerstmann,...

rare hereditary prion disease that is associated with a mutation in PRNP. The gene, which provides instructions for making the prion protein PrPC, is located...

A fungal prion is a prion that infects hosts which are fungi. Fungal prions are naturally occurring proteins that can switch between multiple, structurally...
