Multifaceted role of sialylation in prion diseases

IV Baskakov, E Katorcha - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Mammalian prion or PrPSc is a proteinaceous infectious agent that consists of a misfolded,
self-replicating state of a sialoglycoprotein called the prion protein, or PrPC. Sialylation of …
