PRND

Prion protein 2 (dublet), also known as PRND, or Doppel protein, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the PRND is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene is found on chromosome 20, approximately 20 kbp downstream of the gene encoding cellular is_associated_with::prion protein, to which it is biochemically and structurally similar. The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored is_associated_with::glycoprotein that is found predominantly in is_associated_with::testis. Mutations in this gene may lead to neurological disorders.
