Anti-ATP7B

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. ATPase, Cu++ transporting, beta polypeptide (Wilson disease) protein, also called ATP7B, is an ATPase that transports copper. This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least two putative copper-binding sites. ATP7B is mapped to 13q14.3. This protein functions as a monomer, exporting copper out of the cells. When copper levels are in excess, ATP7B redistributes to a vesicular compartment near the biliary canalicular membranes for elimination of excess copper into bile, and it is transported along liver cell microtubules via interaction with the p62 dynactin subunit. Protein function: Copper ion transmembrane transporter involved in the export of copper out of the cells. It is involved in copper homeostasis in the liver, where it ensures the efflux of copper from hepatocytes into the bile in response to copper overload. [The UniProt Consortium]
