Abstract:
Copper,a trace element,plays a crucial physiological role in the human body and is involved in many important reactions.In multicellular organisms,copper metabolism encompasses absorption,distribution,sequestration,and excretion.Influx of extracellular copper ions is primarily mediated by the high-affinity copper transporter protein 1.Copper utilization pathways include the Atox1-ATP7A/B-Cp pathway,the COX17-Sco1/2-CCO pathway,and the CCS-SOD1 pathway,with copper ions being released into bile by ATP7B for excretion.The copper transport system plays a critical role in maintaining copper homeostasis within the body,ensuring normal tissue function.Both copper deficiency and excess can be harmful,and an imbalance in copper homeostasis may lead to various diseases and is associated with the development of tumors.Recent research has introduced the concept of copper-dependent cell death,a novel mecha-nism of cell death distinct from other known forms.This article provides an overview of the copper transport system,diseases related to copper homeostasis imbalance,and copper-dependent cell death,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of copper-related diseases.
