Abstract excerpt
Copper homeostasis is achieved by a combination of regulated uptake, efflux and sequestration and is essential for animal health and viability. Transmembrane copper transport proteins of the P-type ATPase family play key roles in cellular copper efflux. Here, the transcriptional and post-translational regulation of DmATP7, the sole Drosophila melanogaster ortholog of the human MNK and WND copper transport genes,...
