physiological function | the N-terminus of CTR1 may serve as intermediate binding site during Cu(II) transfer from blood copper carriers to the transporter. Human N-terminal sequence Met-Asp-His, MDH-amide, but not MNH-amide forms a low abundance complex with non-amino terminal Cu(II)- and Ni(II)-binding site coordination involving the Met amine, His imidazole and Asp carboxylate. This species might assist Cu(II) relay down the peptide chain or its reduction to Cu(I), both necessary for the CTR1 function | Homo sapiens |
