Shadoo is mainly expressed in the brain, and highly expressed in the hippocampus, the area of the brain which co-ordinates memory as well as spatial memory and navigation. This protein may also alter the biological actions of normal and abnormal prion protein (PrP) which lead to lethal neurodegenerative diseases []. This family of proteins is found in eukaryotes. Proteins in this family are approximately 150 amino acids in length, of which the first 90 are alanine rich. |
