Identification of Copper Transporter 1 as a Receptor for Feline Endogenous Retrovirus ERV-DC14

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Receptor usage is an important determinant of diseases induced by pathogenic retroviruses. In the case of feline leukemia viruses, three subgroups (A, B, and C) based on their ability to recognize different cell host receptors, respectively, the thiamine transporter THTR1, the phosphate transporter PiT1, and the heme exporter FLVCR1, are associated with distinct feline diseases.
