Rabbit Anti-ATP7B/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ATP7b is an important protein for copper transport and elimination of excess copper from the body. ATP7b transports metals in and out of cells using ATP. There are 3 known isoforms of the ATP7b gene; A is found in the liver, kidney, and brain, the shorter form B is found in brain tissue, and the third isoform, known as WND/140 KDA is found in mitochondria. Mutations in the ATP7b gene can cause Wilson's disease, an inherited disorder causing copper poisoning in the brain and liver.
Function:
Involved in the export of copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile.
Subunit:
Monomer. Interacts with COMMD1/MURR1.
Subcellular Location:
Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Isoform 2: Cytoplasm. WND/140 kDa: Mitochondrion.
Tissue Specificity:
Most abundant in liver and kidney and also found in brain. Isoform 2 is expressed in brain but not in liver. The cleaved form WND/140 kDa is found in liver cell lines and other tissues.
Post-translational modifications:
Isoform 1 may be proteolytically cleaved at the N-terminus to produce the WND/140 kDa form.
DISEASE:
Defects in ATP7B are the cause of Wilson disease (WD) [MIM:277900]. WD is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism in which copper cannot be incorporated into ceruloplasmin in liver, and cannot be excreted from the liver into the bile. Copper accumulates in the liver and subsequently in the brain and kidney. The disease is characterized by neurologic manifestations and signs of cirrhosis.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IB subfamily.
Contains 6 HMA domains.
