Biological function summary
Prion protein assists in maintaining normal cell activities. Researchers do not fully understand its exact biological role but it might be involved in copper ion uptake and protection against oxidative stress. PrP can form complexes with other cellular proteins some of which help in routing signals inside the cell. Additionally prion protein may have synaptic functions related to neurodevelopment and neuroprotection.
Pathways
Prion protein links to both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative pathways. It participates in signaling pathways that protect neurons from apoptosis. This protein associates closely with copper-dependent pathways possibly related to its capacity to bind copper ions which affects oxidative stress responses. Prion protein also interacts with proteins like synapsin to modulate synaptic transmission.

Additional notes
Expressed in E.coli BL21, solubilized from inclusion bodies in 6 M guanidine-HCl, and purified by Ni(II)-nitriloacetate agarose chromatography, followed by reversed-phase HPLC (C4 column).The rPrPc appears as a single protein band of about 27 kDa in SDS-PAGE (>95% of total protein).
General info
Function
Its primary physiological function is unclear. May play a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. May be required for neuronal myelin sheath maintenance. May promote myelin homeostasis through acting as an agonist for ADGRG6 receptor. May play a role in iron uptake and iron homeostasis. Soluble oligomers are toxic to cultured neuroblastoma cells and induce apoptosis (in vitro) (By similarity). Association with GPC1 (via its heparan sulfate chains) targets PRNP to lipid rafts. Also provides Cu(2+) or Zn(2+) for the ascorbate-mediated GPC1 deaminase degradation of its heparan sulfate side chains (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the prion family.
