Function
The normal function of the prion protein is as a transport protein in Homo Sapiens. In it's mutated state the prion protein functions in the development of amyloid disease (misfiled proteins that stick together forming fibrils).
Disease
The disease associated with a mutated Prion protein is Spongiform Ecephalopathies. The common prion disease in humans is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Structural Highlights
This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
