Abstract

The ATOX1 (Antioxidant Protein 1) is a human copper metal chaperone that plays an important role in cellular copper homeostasis. The protein is responsible for cytosolic copper absorption from CTR1 (copper transporter 1) and transport to the copper pumps in the Trans Golgi network to the ATP7A and ATP7B proteins. This review collected data on the antioxidant role of ATOX1, the gene role in the angiogenesis regulation and cancer cell proliferation, and the role in the copper-induced diseases pathogenesis – Wilson’s disease and Menkes disease.
