Intestinal Copper Absorption

Molecular classification
Physiological Process
01

Overview

Intestinal copper absorption is a tightly regulated process involving specific transporters—primarily CTR1 for entry into enterocytes and ATP7A for export into circulation—with adaptive responses based on body needs. Disruption leads to significant clinical syndromes related either to deficiency or overload.
