Copper (Cu) has a multifaceted role in brain development, function, and metabolism. Two homologous Cu transporters, Atp7a (Menkes disease protein) and Atp7b (Wilson disease protein), maintain Cu homeostasis in the tissue. Atp7a mediates Cu entry into the

Novel ATPase Cu(2+) transporting beta polypeptide mutations in Chinese families with Wilson's disease. [PDF]
Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ATPase Cu(2+) transporting beta polypeptide gene (ATP7B). The detailed metabolism of copper-induced pathology in WD is still unknown.

The Function of ATPase Copper Transporter ATP7B in Intestine [PDF]
Wilson disease is a disorder of copper (Cu) misbalance caused by mutations in ATP7B. ATP7B is highly expressed in the liver-the major site of Cu accumulation in patients with Wilson disease. The intestine also expresses ATP7B, but little is known about the contribution of intestinal ATP7B to normal intestinal copper homeostasis or to Wilson disease ...

Supramolecular mercaptosuccinic acid‐capped CdTe core‐type quantum dot‐encapsulated proteoliposome assemblies (MSA‐CdTe QD PLs) have been developed to study and unambiguously demonstrate real‐time transporter‐mediated turnover translocation of Pt(II)‐based complexes by transmembrane Cu(I) P‐type ATPase pumps (CopA).

ATP7B Variants as Modulators of Copper Dyshomeostasis in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
To understand the role of the key copper-regulating gene, ATP7B, in copper dyshomeostasis associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), we analyzed the serum levels of copper, ceruloplasmin and 'free' (i.e., non-ceruloplasmin bound) copper in 399 patients with AD and 303 elderly healthy controls. We also performed analyses of informative variants of ATP7B.

Transcranial sonography changes in heterozygotic carriers of the ATP7B gene [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Wilson’s disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of ATP7B gene leading to impaired copper metabolism. Brain imaging, such as magnetic resonance (MR) and transcranial sonography (TCS) in WD patients, shows changes mostly in the basal ganglia.

Metal-Dependent Regulation of ATP7A and ATP7B in Fibroblast Cultures [PDF]
Deficiency of one of the copper transporters ATP7A and ATP7B leads to the rare X-linked disorder Menkes Disease (MD) or the rare autosomal disorder Wilson disease (WD), respectively. In order to investigate whether the ATP7A and the ATP7B genes may be transcriptionally regulated, we measured the expression level of the two genes at various ...

Background & Aims: The association between Wilson disease and various ATP7B mutations is well-established; however, the molecular mechanism underlying the functional consequence of these mutations, particularly the splicing mutations, remains unclear.

Pathogenic gene variation spectrum and carrier screening for Wilson’s disease in Qingdao area
Background Despite the increasing number of reports on the analysis of ATP7B variants, reports on carrier screening for Wilson's disease (WD, OMIM:277900) are rare.
