Psychiatry related information on Cp

 

High impact information on Cp

  • In indomethacin-treated rabbits, however, ceruloplasmin at the same high doses failed to induce angiogenesis [7].
  • Changes in serum ceruloplasmin levels, bile copper excretion capacity, and liver histology were in concordance with decreases in liver copper levels [8].
  • Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism characterized by abnormal copper accumulation in the liver and low serum ceruloplasmin activity [9].
  • These changes are paralleled by a decreased estrogen responsiveness of the liver, as evidenced by the plasma ceruloplasmin level [10].
  • The mode of transport of ceruloplasmin (CP) into the liver was investigated in fractionated liver cell suspensions [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Cp

 

Biological context of Cp

  • By using RT-PCR, we demonstrate that FP and CP gene expression is up-regulated by treatment with the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta in rat C6 cells, taken as a glial cellular model [1].
  • The expression of GPI-Cp on the surface of these cells increases with postnatal development and is regulated in vitro by cell density, time in culture, and various extracellular matrix molecules [17].
  • Using these cDNA clones in RNA blot analysis, a single 3.7-kilobase ceruloplasmin-specific transcript is detected in fetal rat liver and lung by day 15 of gestation [3].
  • The derived amino acid sequence of rat ceruloplasmin is 93% homologous to the corresponding human sequence and contains a 19-amino acid leader peptide plus 1040 amino acids of mature protein [3].
  • cDNA clones corresponding to rat ceruloplasmin were isolated from newborn rat lung and liver cDNA libraries and the nucleotide sequence was obtained [3].

Regulatory relationships of Cp

 

Other interactions of Cp

  • In the AZn rats, IL-1 beta infusion resulted in increased plasma copper (Cu) concentrations and ceruloplasmin (Cp) activity, and decreased iron (Fe) concentrations throughout the 7d period [22].
  • Following stimulation with IL-1beta, a higher expression level of CP and FP was also confirmed by Western blotting [1].
  • Here, we have investigated processing of glypican-1 in rat C6 glioma cells and the possible participation of the copper-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked splice variant of ceruloplasmin in nitrosothiol formation [12].
  • The effects of feeding rats high levels of dietary zinc (240 mg Zn/kg diet) on the activities of the copper-requiring metalloenzymes: ceruloplasmin (Cp), cupro -zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) were determined [24].
  • The increase of holo-Cp in acute and chronic hepatitis in LEC rats was explained by the delivery of Cu, accumulating in the non-metallothionein-bound form, to Cp outside the Golgi apparatus of the liver [25].
