Protein Domain : Ctr copper transporter IPR007274

Type  Family
Description  The redox active metal copper is an essential cofactor in critical biological processes such as respiration, iron transport, oxidative stress protection, hormone production, and pigmentation. A widely conserved family of high-affinity copper transport proteins (Ctr proteins) mediates copper uptake at the plasma membrane [ ]. A series of clustered methionine residues in the hydrophilic extracellular domain, and an MXXXM motif in the second transmembrane domain, are important for copper uptake. These methionines probably coordinate copper during the process of metal transport [].
