Glypican-1 mediates both prion protein lipid raft association and disease isoform formation.
In prion diseases, the cellular form of the prion protein, PrP(C), undergoes a conformational conversion to the infectious isoform, PrP(Sc). PrP(C) associates with lipid rafts through its glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor and a region in its N-terminal domain which also binds to heparan sul...
