Once in the portal circulation, the copper complexes to albumin or amino acids with only a small fraction remaining free. A copper transporter (hCTR) for albumin-bound copper then transports the copper into the hepatocyte.12,13 There it interacts with several proteins that direct the copper to chaperones for incorporation into essential proteins (such as ceruloplasmin, copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, and cytochrome c oxidase), or into lysosomes for biliary excretion
