SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	ferroxidase, iron (II): oxygen oxidoreductase
	multicopper oxidase of plasma (Sokolov 2008)
	should provide a protective shield against inadvertent oxidant production by MPO during inflammation
	HEPH and CP are important for the prevention of glial iron accumulation and thus may be protective against oxidative damage

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	essential for iron homeostasis and neuronal survival

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Ca2+

protein	interacts with myeloperoxidase (MPO), and inhibits its peroxidase and chlorinating activity (Sokolov 2008)
	HEPH may compensate for the loss of CP in a region-specific manner
	Ceruloplasmin was the predominant protein associated with MPO
