3 In this report, we demonstrate that PrP(C) binds iron and transforms to a PrP(Sc)-like form (*PrP(Sc)) when human neuroblastoma cells are exposed to an inorganic source of redox iron. Iron prion protein Homo sapiens
4 In this report, we demonstrate that PrP(C) binds iron and transforms to a PrP(Sc)-like form (*PrP(Sc)) when human neuroblastoma cells are exposed to an inorganic source of redox iron. Iron prion protein Homo sapiens
5 In this report, we demonstrate that PrP(C) binds iron and transforms to a PrP(Sc)-like form (*PrP(Sc)) when human neuroblastoma cells are exposed to an inorganic source of redox iron. Iron prion protein Homo sapiens
6 Furthermore, we demonstrate increased redox-active ferrous iron levels in prion disease-affected brains, suggesting that accumulation of PrP(Sc) is modulated by the combined effect of imbalance in brain iron homeostasis and the redox-active nature of PrP(Sc). Iron prion protein Homo sapiens
