Gene information for CP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1356
Official gene symbolCP
Full nameceruloplasmin (ferroxidase)
Aliases,CP-2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a metalloprotein that binds most of the copper in plasma and is involved in the peroxidation of Fe(II)transferrin to Fe(III) transferrin. Mutations in this gene cause aceruloplasminemia, which results in iron accumulation and tissue damage, and is associated with diabetes and neurologic abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq]
