Down-regulation of Shadoo in prion infections traces a pre-clinical event inversely related to PrP(Sc) accumulation.

Down-regulation of Shadoo in prion infections traces a pre-clinical event inversely related to PrP(Sc) accumulation.

During prion infections of the central nervous system (CNS) the cellular prion protein, PrP(C), is templated to a conformationally distinct form, PrP(Sc). Recent studies have demonstrated that the Sprn gene encodes a GPI-linked glycoprotein Shadoo (Sho), which localizes to a similar membrane environ...
