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 PrP, with three alpha helices and two short beta strands[2]. however it differs in that the third helix has a significant kink in it and it also contains two disulphide bonds.
The structure mutant PrP with the additional disulphide bond was also determoned <ref>Zahn R et al. (2003) NMR structure of a variant human prion protein with two disulfide bridges J. Mol. Biol. 326, 225-34.
