It mediates systemic copper absorption and provides cupro-enzymes in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) with copper. It constitutively cycles between the TGN and plasma membrane (PM) for regulating the metal homeostasis. Mutation in this gene causes Menkes disease, a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by multi-systemic disorder of copper deficiency. This disease is caused due to a novel "silent" substitution in the ATP7A gene.
