Abstract excerpt
We have expressed hCTR1, the human copper transporter, in Sf9 cells using a baculovirus-mediated expression system, and we observed greatly enhanced copper uptake. Western blots showed that the protein is delivered to the plasma membrane, where it mediates saturable copper uptake with a K(m) of a...
