Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane;
Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19936054}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04925}. Note=Targeted to lipid rafts via association with the heparan sulfate chains of GPC1. Colocates, in the presence of Cu(2+), to vesicles in para- and perinuclear regions, where both proteins undergo internalization. Heparin displaces PRNP from lipid rafts and promotes endocytosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19936054}.
