Product Overview
| Description | Native Human ApoCeruloplasmin represents the iron-free form of the major copper-carrying glycoprotein in plasma, serving as an essential molecular precursor that undergoes copper incorporation to form functional holoceruloplasmin with its characteristic ferroxidase activity. This metal-free glycoprotein maintains the structural framework for binding six copper atoms while exhibiting dynamic interactions with cellular copper transporters during hepatic ceruloplasmin biosynthesis, with its stability and conformation directly influencing the efficiency of copper loading and subsequent secretion into circulation. Beyond its copper transport role, the apoprotein form participates in regulatory mechanisms for metal homeostasis, demonstrates altered kinetics in Wilson's disease pathogenesis where copper incorporation fails, and provides a crucial experimental tool for studying metalloprotein assembly while retaining certain antioxidant properties through copper-independent radical scavenging capabilities. |
