Copper metabolism of astrocytes [PDF]
This short review will summarize the current knowledge on the uptake, storage and export of copper ions by astrocytes and will address the potential roles of astrocytes in copper homeostasis in the normal and diseased brain.

Copper-transporting ATPase is important for malaria parasite fertility [PDF]
Homeostasis of the trace element copper is essential to all eukaryotic life. Copper serves as a cofactor in metalloenzymes and catalyses electron transfer reactions as well as the generation of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species. Here, we describe

Cu (Cu) is essential for several biochemical pathways due to its role as a catalytic cofactor or allosteric regulator of enzymes. Its import and distribution are tightly controlled by transporters and metallochaperones and Cu homeostasis is maintained by

Splice Site Mutations in the ATP7A Gene
Menkes disease (MD) is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene. We describe 33 novel splice site mutations detected in patients with MD or the milder phenotypic form, Occipital Horn Syndrome. We review these 33 mutations together with 28 previously published splice site mutations.

Two highly polymorphic CA repeats in the Menkes gene (ATP7A) [PDF]
Two highly polymorphic CA repeats have been identified in the Menkes gene (ATP7A). These repeats should be useful for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection in families with Menkes disease and X-linked cutis laxa. The observed heterozygosity for these two repeats was 0.778 and 0.60 in Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine (CEPH) families.

Metal ions in macrophage antimicrobial pathways: emerging roles for zinc and copper [PDF]
The immunomodulatory and antimicrobial properties of zinc and copper have long been appreciated. In addition, these metal ions are also essential for microbial growth and survival.

Menkes disease complicated by concurrent ACY1 deficiency: A case report
Introduction: Menkes disease is an X‐linked recessive condition caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene, which leads to severe copper deficiency. Aminoacylase-1 deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous ...

Regulation of apico-basolateral trafficking polarity of homologous Copper-ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B
We suggest a model of apico-basolateral sorting in polarized epithelia using homologous Cu-ATPases as membrane cargoes. In polarized epithelia, upon copper treatment, homologous copper-ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B traffic from trans-Golgi network (TGN) to ...
