SLC31A1/CTR1 Products

Description

SLC31A1/CTR1 (High affinity copper uptake protein 1) is a 190 amino acid cell membrane protein. SLC31A1 forms a homotrimer and is a high-affinity copper transporter. It functions in the uptake of dietary copper. It may play a role in infection by chimpanzee endogenous retrovirus 2, Wilson disease, Menkes disease, ovarian carcinoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, ethylmalonic encephalopathy, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, cleft lip, squamous cell carcinoma and T-cell deficiency.

SLC31A1/CTR1 - a copper transporter with important implications for platinum-based chemotherapy Copper is an essential micronutrient that serves as a cofactor in numerous biological processes, but can be toxic when present in excess. Because of this, cells must tightly maintain copper levels. This includes balance between import and export of...    Read more.
