(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID475
Official gene symbolATOX1
Full nameATX1 antioxidant protein 1 homolog (yeast)
Aliases,ATX1,HAH1,MGC138453,MGC138455,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
