The presence of valine at residue 129 in human prion protein accelerates amyloid formation.
The polymorphism at residue 129 of the human PRNP gene modulates disease susceptibility and the clinico-pathological phenotypes in human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The molecular mechanisms by which the effect of this polymorphism are mediated remain unclear. It has been shown that th...
