Major Prion Protein

Structure
It is believed The image shown is the average structure produced by NMR constraints.
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.
