Copper Transport in the Human Liver

  • The primary copper-transporting protein produced by the human liver is ceruloplasmin.
  • Ceruloplasmin is an alpha-2 globulin protein that binds the majority of copper found in human blood plasma, typically carrying about 6 to 6 atoms of copper per molecule.
  • Aside from systemic transport, the liver utilizes another critical protein involved in cellular copper handling and excretion into bile, known as ATP7B (ATPase copper transporting beta), though ceruloplasmin is the major circulating plasma protein synthesized by hepatic cells.
