Description
Doppel (PRND) is a paralogue of the mammalian prion (PRNP) gene. It is abundant in testis and, unlike PRNP, it is expressed at low levels in the adult central nervous system (CNS). Besides, doppel overexpression correlates with some prion-disease pathological features, such as ataxia and death of cerebellar neurons. Prion-related protein doppel gene (PRND), as an essential member of the mammalian prion gene family, is associated with the scrapie susceptibility as well as phenotype traits, so the genetic variation of the PRND has been highly concerned recently, including the single nucleiotide polymorphism (SNP) and insertion/deletion (indel).
This Human Doppel/PRND overexpression lysate was created in HEK293 Cells and intented for use as a Western blot (WB) positive control. Purification of Doppel/PRND protein from the overexpression lysate was verified
