Abstract excerpt
Wilson disease protein (ATP7B) is a copper-transporting P(1B)-type ATPase that regulates copper homeostasis and biosynthesis of copper-containing enzymes in human tissues. Inactivation of ATP7B or related ATP7A leads to severe neurodegenerative disorders, whereas their overexpression contributes to cancer cell resistance to chemotherapeutics. Copper-transporting ATPases differ from other P-type ATPases in their...
