It may play a role in host response to prion-associated infections. The scrapie responsive protein 1 may be partly included in the membrane or secreted by the cells due to its hydrophobic N-terminus. In addition, the encoded protein can interact with bone marrow stromal cell antigen 1 (BST1) to enhance the differentiation potentials of human mesenchymal stem cells during tissue and bone regeneration.
