ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a metalloprotein that binds most of the copper in plasma and is involved in the peroxidation of Fe(II)transferrin to Fe(III) transferrin. Mutations in this gene cause aceruloplasminemia, which results in iron accumulation and tissue damage, and is associated with diabetes and neurologic abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
Function: Ceruloplasmin is a blue, copper-binding (6-7 atoms per molecule) glycoprotein. It has ferroxidase activity oxidizing Fe2+ to Fe3+ without releasing radical oxygen species. It is involved in iron transport across the cell membrane. Catalytic activity: 4 Fe2+ + 4 H+ + O2 = 4 Fe3+ + 2 H2O. Cofactor: Binds 6 copper ions per monomer. Subcellular location: Secreted. Tissue specificity: Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. Involvement in disease: Defects in CP are the cause of aceruloplasminemia (ACERULOP) [. MIM:604290]. It is an autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism characterized by iron accumulation in the brain as well as visceral organs. Clinical features consist of the triad of retinal degeneration, diabetes mellitus and neurological disturbances.Note=Ceruloplasmin levels are decreased in Wilson disease, in which copper cannot be incorporated into ceruloplasmin in liver because of defects in the copper-transporting ATPase 2. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the multicopper oxidase family.Contains 3 F5/8 type A domains.Contains 6 plastocyanin-like domains.
