Abstract excerpt
Mutation in ATP7B gene causes Wilson disease (WD) that is characterized by severe hepatic and neurological symptoms. ATP7B localizes at the trans-Golgi Network (TGN) transporting copper to copper-dependent enzymes and traffics in apically targeted vesicles upon intracellular copper elevation. To decode the cellular underpinnings of WD manifestation we investigated copper-responsive polarized trafficking and...
