Description
Ceruloplasmin (aka Ferroxidase I) is a 132kDa 1,046 amino acid glycoprotein which carries 95% of serum copper by binding 6 cupric ions per molecule [1]. Levels are decreased in Wilson's Disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) and heritable aceruloplasminemia leading to iron accumulation in the liver or brain from impaired iron homeostasis [2]
