Anatomical context of Atp7a

  • Both Atp7a and Atp7b are expressed in glomeruli; however, Atp7b is also seen in the kidney medulla [20].
  • That is, the brindled mutant and patients with classical Menkes disease are severely copper deficient and have profound neurological problems, while OHS patients and the blotchy mouse have a much milder phenotype with predominantly connective tissue defects [21].
  • In this study, in an attempt to understand the basis for the brindled and blotchy phenotypes, the copper transport characteristics and intracellular distribution of the Mnk protein were assessed in cultured cells from these mutants [21].
  • The mottled gene is expressed in all tissues throughout embryogenesis and is particularly strong in the choroid plexuses of the brain [18].
  • Hepatic expression of both toxic milk and mottled is in the parenchyma, as opposed to blood cells [18].
 

Associations of Atp7a with chemical compounds

  • Atp7a is required for these copper-dependent effects: Hippocampal neurons isolated from newborn Mo(br) mice reveal a marked sensitivity to endogenous glutamate-mediated NMDA receptor-dependent excitotoxicity in vitro, and mild hypoxic/ischemic insult to these mice in vivo results in significantly increased caspase 3 activation and neuronal injury [22].
  • METHODS: Three groups of mice were studied: group I--normal littermates of blotchy mice; group II--untreated blotchy mice; group III--blotchy mice given either propranolol, atenolol, or nadolol [23].
  • With exposure to either a strong (cadmium) or weaker (zinc) inducer of metallothionein, 64Cu accumulation was increased in normal cells, while there was no change from the already elevated level of 64Cu accumulation in blotchy cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[4]
  • These data establish that a Menkes-type Cu-transporting ATPase is expressed in rat C6 and PC12 cells and strongly support the hypothesis that both neurons and glia are involved in maintaining Cu homeostasis in the central nervous system [24].
  • Hydrocortisone treatment resulted in increased metallothionein synthesis in liver of mutant mice but had no ameliorative effect on the mottled-brindled disease [25].
 

Regulatory relationships of Atp7a

  • A light microscopic study of interruptions of the internal elastic lamina (IIEL) showed that they developed in arteries of both Blotchy and control mice but to a greater extent in the Blotchy group where hypertension further increased their incidence [26].
