Type: | Family | Name: | Copper ion binding protein |
Description: | Proteins in this family are copper ion-binding proteins, including copper chaperone CopZ and COP-associated protein (COPP). They contain a conserved 30-residue HMA domain, which has been found in a number of other heavy metal transport or detoxification proteins []. CopZ is a chaperone that serves for the intracellular sequestration and transport of Cu+, and delivers copper ions to the copper-transporting ATPase CopA []. COPP is part of a cation-transporting system which is associated with copper export out of the cells []. | Short Name: | Cu-bd |
