HSP70 as a target for correction of Wilson disease causing ATP7B mutants
2017-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient, which operates as a cofactor of enzymes regulating a wide range of critical physiological processes. However, Cu overload compromises the redox balance in cells and tissues causing serious toxicity. Removal of excess Cu from the body is driven be Cu-transporting ATPase ATP7B, which sequesters the potentially toxic metal and mediates its excretion into the bile. Mutations...
