MeSH definition : Normal cellular isoform of prion proteins (PRIONS) 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.; 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.;
MeSH annotation : PrPC stands for PRion Protein Cellular; do not confuse with PRPSC PROTEINS which are
scrapie prions; /pathogen permitted; DF: PRPC; PrPC stands for PRion Protein Cellular; do not confuse with PRPSC PROTEINS which are
scrapie prion proteins;
