Doppel
From Proteopedia
Doppel (Dpl), named for downstream prion protein-like[1], is a homolog of the prion protein (PrP). It is a cell surface glycoprotein.

Dpl has the same fold as the C-terminal domain PrP, with three alpha helices and two short beta strands[2]. However Dpl differs from PrP in two important respects: the second helix of Dpl has a pronounced kink in it, and Dpl also contains .
The structure mutant PrP with the additional disulphide bond was also determined [3]
