Anti-Prnp

Prnp Antibody is a IgG polyclonal antibody from Assay Genie with reactivity against Rat and for use in ELISA applications. Prnp Antibody is a high quality polyclonal antibody for research use only.. Protein 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). 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
