Abstract excerpt
The downstream prion-like protein (doppel or Dpl) shares significant biochemical and structural homology with the cellular prion protein, PrP(C), which is considered as a responsible protein for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases. Recently, polymorphisms in open reading frame (ORF) of the prion-like protein gene (PRND) have been analysed in relation to the occurrence of prion...
