Characterization of ATP7A missense mutants suggests a correlation between intracellular trafficking and severity of Menkes disease

Abstract Menkes disease (MD) is caused by mutations in ATP7A, encoding a copper-transporting P-type ATPase which exhibits copper-dependent trafficking. ATP7A is found in the Trans-Golgi Network (TGN) at low copper concentrations, and in the post-Golgi compartments and the plasma membrane at higher c...
