Copper efflux oxidase

Recent reviews on copper homeostasis in E. col and yeast are available. Copper and iron metabolism are often intertwined. For instance, mammalian iron metabohsm depends on the copper protein, ceruloplasmin, a ferroxidase that facilitates iron efflux from cells see Copper Proteins Oxidases) Several important human diseases, including Menkes disease and Wilson s disease, result from mutations in copper transport see Metal-related Diseases of Genetic Origin) ...
