Biological function summary
ATP7B plays a significant role in maintaining copper balance within the body. It associates with intracellular vesicles and through its catalytic activity influences various cellular metabolic processes. Although ATP7B does not typically form large complexes its interaction with other proteins and cellular organelles contributes to copper ion binding and transfer. Proper ATP7B function ensures that copper is channeled effectively to places where it is required for enzymatic activity or is expelled from cells to prevent accumulation.
Pathways
ATP7B is a central figure in the copper transport and homeostasis pathway. Its role is directly connected to the biosynthesis of copper-dependent enzymes. The protein impacts the pathway involving ceruloplasmin biosynthesis by regulating copper ion incorporation. ATP7A another copper-transporting ATPase shares similar pathway responsibilities but in different tissues showing divergence in their specific biological roles. Together they ensure whole-body copper balance.
