Atp7b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables P-type divalent copper transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including copper ion transport; intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis; and lactation. Located in membrane and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Wilson disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wilson disease. Orthologous to human ATP7B (ATPase copper transporting beta).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Atp7b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
