| UniProt functional annotation for O00244 | |||
| UniProt code: O00244. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Binds and deliver cytosolic copper to the copper ATPase proteins. May be important in cellular antioxidant defense. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with ATP7B (PubMed:10966647). Interacts with ATP7A (PubMed:21667063, PubMed:19453293). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10966647, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19453293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21667063}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Ubiquitous. | |
| Domain: | The heavy-metal-associated domain (HMA) coordinates a Cu(+) ion via the cysteine residues within the CXXC motif. The transfer of Cu(+) ion from ATOX1 to ATP7A involves the formation of a three-coordinate Cu(+)-bridged heterodimer where the metal is shared between the two metal binding sites of ATOX1 and ATP7A. The Cu(+) ion appears to switch between two coordination modes, forming two links with one protein and one with the other. Cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug, can bind the CXXC motif and hinder the release of Cu(+) ion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19453293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31283225}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ATX1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
