A copper-regulated transporter required for copper acquisition, pigmentation, and specific stages of development in Drosophila melanogaster.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 28 Nov 2003

Zhou Hao, Cadigan Ken M, Thiele Dennis J

Abstract excerpt

The trace element copper is required for normal growth and development, serving as an essential catalytic co-factor for enzymes involved in energy generation, oxidative stress protection, neuropeptide maturation, and other fundamental processes. In yeast and mammals copper acquisition occurs through the action of the Ctr1 family of high affinity copper transporters. Here we describe studies using Drosophila...
