Abstract excerpt
The copper-transporting ATPase ATP7A contains eight transmembrane domains and is required for normal human copper homeostasis. Mutations in the ATP7A gene may lead to infantile-onset cerebral degeneration (Menkes disease); occipital horn syndrome (OHS), a related but much milder illness; or an adult-onset isolated distal motor neuropathy. The ATP7A missense mutation T994I is located in the sixth transmembrane...
