Prion Protein Expression and Functional Importance in Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle expresses prion protein (PrP) that buffers oxidant activity in neurons. AIMS: We hypothesize that PrP deficiency would increase oxidant activity in skeletal muscle and alter redox-sensitive functions, including contraction and glucose uptake. We used real-time polymerase chain reacti...
