“…The extremely diverse copper speciation may be represented by a collection of copper bioligands including small ions and molecules such as sulfide ion, amino acids like His, Cys, Met, Asp, Tyr, Thr, Gly; neurotransmitters such as ATP, norepinephrine [ 111 ]; γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) [ 112 ], and constituents of dense core vesicle cargo neurotrophins ([ 113 ] and references cited) inositol phosphates (IPs) [ 114 ], low-density lipoproteins (LDL) [ 115 ]. Redox propensity of chelates between copper and pertinent peptides (tripeptide glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine: GSH) [ 116 , 117 ]; peptide fragments of matricellular calcium-binding glycoprotein (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine: SPARC) Gly-His-Lys (GHK) (for a recent review see [ 118 ] and proteins (metallothionein, ceruloplasmin, albumin, macroglobulin, transcuprein [ 3 , 19 , 119 – 122 ]), prion protein PrP C [ 65 ], amylin [ 123 ]) may present specific feature of transport and storage of copper. Likewise, many cuproproteins with redox, or redox-with-transport functions (mono-, di-, tetranuclear cupredoxins nitrite reductase, laccase, Cu, Zn-SOD1, amine oxidase CuAO, galactose oxidase, hemocyanin, tyrosinase, catechol oxidase, COX, N 2 O reductase, menaquinol NO reductase et cetera) [ 47 ], copper-transporting ATPases (Cu-ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B) [ 124 – 126 ], divalent metal transporter DMT1 [ 127 ], copper transporters and chaperons Ctr1, Ctr2, Atox1 and CCS [ 128 , 129 ], diverse group of bacterial periplasmic copper binding proteins (CopC) [ 130 ] are known.…”
