Copper transport protein ATOX1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATOX1 gene.[1][2]
This gene encodes a copper chaperone that plays a role in copper homeostasis by binding and transporting cytosolic copper to ATPase proteins in the trans-Golgi network for later incorporation to the ceruloplasmin. This protein also functions as an antioxidant against superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, and therefore, may play a significant role in cancer carcinogenesis. Because of its cytogenetic location, this gene represents a candidate gene for 5q-syndrome.[2]
In melanocytic cells ATOX1 gene expression may be regulated by MITF[3].
ATOX1 has been shown to interact with Wilson disease protein[4][5] and ATP7A.[4]
