Summary: Enables several functions, including ATP-dependent protein binding activity; lamin binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; and response to copper ion. Located in postsynaptic density. Used to study hyperglycemia and scrapie. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome; Huntington's disease-like 1; fatal familial insomnia; and kuru. Orthologous to human PRNP (prion protein (Kanno blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
