Abstract excerpt
Aceruloplasminemia is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by parenchymal iron accumulation owing to mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene. Ceruloplasmin is expressed in the central nervous system in which most of the ceruloplasmin is located on the surface of astrocytes in a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored form. We herein describe the biochemical features of wild-type and mutant GPI-anchored...
