Annotation score:3 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein. Note that the 'protein existence' evidence does not give information on the accuracy or correctness of the sequence(s) displayed.<p><a href='/help/protein_existence' target='_top'>More...</a></p>

Miscellaneous

This protein is produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the major prion protein/PRNP from an overlapping reading frame.1 Publication
The alternative prion protein/AltPrP and PRNP (AC P04156) have no apparent direct functional relation since a mutation that removes the start codon of the AltPrP has no apparent effect on the biology of PRNP. In mouse and hamster, the alternative initiation AUG codon is absent and is replaced by a GUG codon (PubMed:21478263).1 Publication

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence.
