Differential Regulation of Ceruloplasmin Isoforms Expression in Macrophages and Hepatocytes

Year: 2011
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a multicopper oxidase implicated in iron (Fe) metabolism and protection against free radical−driven cell injury [1]. Through oxidation of Fe (II) to Fe (III), Cp assists the sole identified mammalian iron exporter ferroportin (Fpn) for transporting iron out from the cells 2-3]. Cp can be expressed as a soluble secreted protein (sCp) or as a membrane GPI−anchored protein (GPI−Cp) as a result of alternative splicing [4-5]. sCp is abundant in serum and is known to be mostly expressed by hepatocytes while GPI−Cp has been shown to be mostly expressed in astrocytes, leptomeningeal cells, and sertoli cells [1]. Previously, we reported the mRNA expression
