    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Cp
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • multicopper oxidase family
  • CATEGORY enzyme , secretory
    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
  • cell & other
