Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Copper Transporter:** The CUTC gene encodes a protein that facilitates the transport of copper ions across cellular membranes, thereby regulating copper homeostasis. 2. **Highly Expressed Cells:** CUTC is significantly expressed in polychromatophilic erythroblast, hematopoietic oligopotent progenitor cells, smooth muscle fibers, and other cell types, indicating its widespread importance in cellular function. 3. **Cellular Localization:** The CUTC protein is likely localized to the plasma membrane, where it can interact with copper ions and facilitate their transport into or out of cells. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Copper Ion Binding:** CUTC binds copper ions, which are essential for various cellular processes, including enzyme function, antioxidant defenses, and cell signaling. 2. **Copper Ion Homeostasis:** The CUTC gene helps regulate copper ion homeostasis by controlling the influx and efflux of copper ions into and out of cells. 3. **Ion Channel Transport:** CUTC may participate in ion channel transport by interacting with other proteins and facilitating the movement of ions across cellular membranes. 4. **Protein Binding:** The CUTC protein interacts with other proteins, potentially modulating their activity and function. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Copper Deficiency:** Mutations in the CUTC gene could lead to copper deficiency, which can result in impaired immune function, anemia, and other health issues. 2. **Copper Toxicity:** Excessive copper levels can also be toxic, leading to conditions such as Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder characterized by copper accumulation in the liver and brain. 3. **Hematological Disorders:** The CUTC gene's role in hematopoietic cells makes it an important target for understanding the pathogenesis of anemia and other blood disorders. 4. **Muscle Function:** The CUTC gene's expression in muscle cells suggests its potential involvement in muscle function and disorders, such as muscular dystrophy. In conclusion, the CUTC gene plays a critical role in maintaining copper homeostasis within cells, and its dysregulation can lead to various health issues. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which the CUTC gene functions and its clinical significance in different diseases.
