Figure 1. Some 70% of copper is taken up at the brush border in intestinal cells by a specific copper ions transporter (Ctr1). These enter the cytoplasm and follow 3 different pathways mediated by 3 different Cu chaperones in the cytoplasm: COX17 (an essential protein in the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondrion), Atox1 (binds and deliver cytosolic copper to the copper ATPase proteins) and CCS (delivers Cu to superoxide dismutase)
