Wilson disease-associated protein also known as copper-transporting ATPase 2 and copper pump 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATP7B gene. Wilson disease protein is an ATPase that transports copper.

Function

The gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least two putative copper-binding sites. This protein functions as a monomer, exporting copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson's disease.[1]

Interactions

Wilson disease protein has been shown to interact with ATOX1[2][3] and GLRX.[4]
