Mechanism of tumor resistance to cisplatin mediated by the copper transporter ATP7BThis paper is one of a selection of papers published in a Special Issue entitled CSBMCB 53rd Annual Meeting — Membrane Proteins in Health and Disease, and has undergone the Journal’s usual peer review process.

Abstract excerpt

The Wilson disease protein (ATP7B) is a copper-transporting ATPase that is responsible for regulating copper homeostasis in human tissues. ATP7B is associated with cancer resistance to cisplatin, one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. This minireview discusses the possible mechanisms of tumor resistance to cisplatin mediated by ATP7B. Cisplatin binds to the N-terminal cytosolic domain of ATP7B, which...
