Scope note: Glucoproteínas de membrana ancladas a glucosilfosfatidilinositol que pueden agregarse en estructuras en forma de bastoncillo. El gen de la proteína priónica (PRNP) se caracteriza por cinco SECUENCIAS REPETIDAS EN TÁNDEM que codifican una región proteica altamente inestable de repeticiones de octapéptidos. Las mutaciones en la región repetitiva y en otros sitios de este gen se asocian a la ENFERMEDAD DE CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB, el INSOMNIO FAMILIAR FATAL, la ENFERMEDAD DE GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER-SCHEINKER, la enfermedad de Huntington-like 1 y el KURU.

Scope note: Membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoproteins that may aggregate into rod-like structures. The prion protein (PRNP) gene is characterized by five TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES that encode a highly unstable protein region of five octapeptide repeats. Mutations in the repeat region and elsewhere in this gene are associated with CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE; FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA; GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER DISEASE; Huntington disease-like 1, and KURU.
