New Roles for Copper Metabolism in Cell Proliferation, Signaling, and Disease
Year: 2008
Type: review
Abstract: Over the past 2 decades, the molecular mechanisms by which cells acquire, distribute, and utilize copper have been under intense investigation. Significant progress has been made in the identification of genes encoding copper homeostasis proteins and in fundamental aspects of their structure, function, and mechanisms of action in copper balance. A number of more comprehensive reviews of the field with respect to the genetics, structure, function, and physiology of copper metabolism have recently appeared elsewhere (1–4).
