Function
Multifunctional blue, copper-binding (6-7 atoms per molecule) glycoprotein. It has ferroxidase activity oxidizing Fe(2+) to Fe(3+) without releasing radical oxygen species. It is involved in iron transport across the cell membrane.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma
Disease Association: Aceruloplasminemia (ACEP) : An autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism characterized by iron accumulation in the brain as well as visceral organs. Clinical features consist of the triad of retinal degeneration, diabetes mellitus and neurological disturbances. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
