Structural and mechanistic aspects influencing the ADAM10-mediated shedding of the prion protein
Abstract Background Proteolytic processing of the prion protein (PrPC) by endogenous proteases generates bioactive membrane-bound and soluble fragments which may help to explain the pleiotropic roles of this protein in the nervous system and in brain diseases. Shedding of almost full-length PrPC int...
