Cellular prion protein function in copper homeostasis and redox signalling at the synapse
Open accessAbstract
The fundamental physiological function of native cellular prion (PrP C) remains unknown. Herein, the most salient observations as regards prion physiology are critically evaluated. These include: (i) the role of PrP C in copper homeostasis, particularly at the pre‐synaptic membrane; (ii) involvement of PrP C in neuronal calcium disturbances; and (iii) the neuroprotective properties of PrP C in response to copper and oxidative stress. Ultimately, a tentative hypothesis of basic prion function is derived, namely that PrP C acts as a sensor for copper and/or free radical stimuli, thereby triggering intracellular calcium signals that finally translate into modulation of synaptic transmission and maintenance of neuronal integrity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
