CTR1 Antibody / Copper transporter 1

High affinity copper uptake protein 1 (Ctr1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC31A1 gene. This gene is maped to 9q32. The protein encoded by this gene is a high-affinity copper transporter found in the cell membrane. The encoded protein functions as a homotrimer to effect the uptake of dietary copper.
