Abstract excerpt
The Menkes protein (MNK; ATP7A) functions as a transmembrane copper-translocating P-type ATPase and plays a vital role in systemic copper absorption in the gut and copper reabsorption in the kidney. Polarized epithelial cells such as Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are a physiologically relevant model for systemic copper absorption and reabsorption in vivo. In this study, cultured MDCK cells were used to...
