Structure

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

Function

The normal function of the prion protein functions 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.
