Abstract excerpt
The human X-linked recessive copper deficiency disorder, Menkes disease, is caused by mutations in the ATP7A (MNK) gene, which encodes a transmembrane copper-transporting P-type ATPase (MNK). The MNK protein is localised to the Golgi apparatus and relocalises to the plasma membrane when copper levels are elevated. Previous studies have identified a C-terminal di-leucine endocytic motif (L1487L1488) in MNK,...
