COPT2 also known as COPTI or Copper Transporter 2 functions mechanically as a transporter protein responsible for moving copper ions across cell membranes. It facilitates the import of essential copper ions into the cells integral for various cellular processes. The mass of COPT2 is approximately 27 kilodaltons. It is mainly expressed in the liver kidneys and brain where cells demand efficient copper ion regulation.
Biological function summary

COPT2 plays an important role in maintaining copper homeostasis within the body allowing proper cellular functions that require copper-dependent enzymes. COPT2 is not part of a protein complex but its significance lies in its singular ability to enhance cellular uptake of copper ions. Copper-dependent enzymes such as cytochrome c oxidase and superoxide dismutase rely on COPT2's function to maintain optimal activity within the cell.

Pathways

COPT2 is directly involved in the copper regulation pathway ensuring that cells receive sufficient copper ions for enzymatic activities. This pathway also interacts with metallothioneins which are proteins responsible for metal detoxification and storage. COPT2's function complements other copper transport proteins like ATP7A and ATP7B which help in exporting and distributing copper within the body.

Disturbances in COPT2 function contribute to conditions such as Wilson's disease and Menkes disease. Wilson's disease results from copper accumulation due to impaired copper transport while Menkes disease involves defective copper absorption. COPT2 works alongside proteins like ATP7B in Wilson's disease and ATP7A in Menkes disease highlighting its important involvement in managing copper ion levels and maintaining cellular health.

Target data

Does not function as a copper(1+) importer in vivo (By similarity). However, in vitro functions as a low-affinity copper(1+) importer (PubMed : 17617060, PubMed : 17944601). Regulator of SLC31A1 which facilitates the cleavage of the SLC31A1 ecto-domain or which stabilizes the truncated form of SLC31A1 (Truncated CTR1 form), thereby drives the SLC31A1 truncated form-dependent endosomal copper export and modulates the copper and cisplatin accumulation via SLC31A1 (By similarity).
