Proline-rich membrane anchor 1, also known as PRiMA, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRIMA1 gene.[4][5]

Function

PRiMA functions to organize

C-terminal T-peptide of AChE.[7]

PRiMA plays a role in targeting AChE to the cell surface and, in neuroblastoma cells, PRiMA the limiting factor of such targeting.[5] In both mice and humans, PRiMA exists as two alternative splice variants that differ in their cytoplasmic regions.

Clinical significance

The severity of neurogenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, can be related to the degradation of AChE.[8]
