Copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase is a metalloprotein that in humans is encoded by the CCS gene.[1][2]

Copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase specifically delivers Cu to copper/zinc superoxide dismutase and may activate copper/zinc superoxide dismutase through direct insertion of the Cu cofactor.[2]

Interactions

CCS (gene) has been shown to interact with SOD1[3] and APBA1.[4]
