ATX1 Antioxidant Protein 1 Homolog (Yeast) (ATOX1) (AA 1-68) protein (His tag)
Description
ATOX1 is a metal transport protein that is part of the ATX1 family. ATOX1 is a copper chaperone that takes part in cellular antioxidant defense and can bind and deliver cytosolic copper to the copper ATPase proteins in the trans-Golgi network for later incorporation to the ceruloplasmin. ATOX1 plays a role as an antioxidant against superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, and consequently, takes an important part in cancer carcinogenesis. Because of ATOX1 cytogenetic location, the gene can be a good a candidate gene for 5q-syndrome Synonyms: Antioxidant protein 1, ATX1, HAH1, Copper transport protein ATOX1, Metal transport protein ATX1, ATOX1, MGC138453, MGC138455
