Copper Metabolism: Role of ATP7B

Hepatocytes absorb copper from the blood and release most either as ceruloplasmin into the blood, if the body requires copper. If copper isn’t required, excess amounts are excreted into the bile. ATP7B plays a very crucial role in this process: It’s responsible for trafficking copper into the Golgi apparatus.
