Copper Homeostasis: The Role of Cellular Transporters

Copper transport at the cellular level is achieved by a coordinate series of interactions between passive and active membrane transport proteins, vesicles, and soluble peptides. Knowing the function of each component of this complex network has made the task of delineating the mechanism of intracell...

Description
Summary:Copper transport at the cellular level is achieved by a coordinate series of interactions between passive and active membrane transport proteins, vesicles, and soluble peptides. Knowing the function of each component of this complex network has made the task of delineating the mechanism of intracellular copper homeostasis achievable.
