Prions are a disease-causing form of a normal protein called cellular prion protein (PrPC) that is located primarily on the surface of central nervous system cells but also in other tissues of the body in mammals.
A prion (/ËpriËÉn/) is a protein that can fold in multiple, structurally distinct ways, at least one of which is transmissible to other prion proteins. It is this form of replication that leads to disease that is similar to viral infection.n yeast, this refolding is assisted by chaperone proteins such as Hsp104p. These refolded prions can then go on to convert more proteins themselves, leading to a chain reaction resulting in large amounts of the prion form.
