Ceruloplasmin is the major [[copper]]-carrying protein in the blood, and in addition plays a role in [[iron metabolism]]. It was first described in 1948.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=Holmberg CG, Laurell CB | title=Investigations in serum copper. II. Isolation of the Copper containing protein, and a description of its properties | journal=Acta Chem Scand | year=1948 | volume=2 | pages=550–56 | doi=10.3891/acta.chem.scand.02-0550}}</ref> Another protein, [[hephaestin]], is noted for its homology to ceruloplasmin, and also participates in iron and probably copper metabolism.


== Function ==


'''Ceruloplasmin''' (or '''caeruloplasmin''') is officially known as '''ferroxidase''' or '''iron(II):oxygen oxidoreductase'''.  
Ceruloplasmin is an [[enzyme]] ({{EC  number|1.16.3.1}}) synthesized in the liver containing 6 atoms of [[copper]] in its structure.<ref name="O'BrienBruce2009">{{cite book |vauthors=O'Brien PJ, Bruce WR | title = Endogenous Toxins: Targets for Disease Treatment and Prevention, 2 Volume Set | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=UaLR0RSuXvsC&pg=PA405 | year = 2009 | publisher = John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-3-527-32363-0 | pages = 405–6 }}</ref> Ceruloplasmin carries more than 95% of the total copper in healthy human plasma.<ref name = "Hellman">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hellman NE, Gitlin JD | title = Ceruloplasmin metabolism and function | journal = Annual Review of Nutrition | volume = 22 | issue =  | pages = 439–58 | year = 2002 | pmid = 12055353 | doi = 10.1146/annurev.nutr.22.012502.114457 }}</ref> The rest is accounted for by macroglobulins. Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe<sup>2+</sup> (ferrous iron) into Fe<sup>3+</sup> (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with [[transferrin]], which can carry iron only in the ferric state.<ref name = "Song">{{cite journal | vauthors = Song D, Dunaief JL | title = Retinal iron homeostasis in health and disease | journal = Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience | volume = 5 | issue =  | pages = 24 | year = 2013 | pmid = 23825457 | doi = 10.3389/fnagi.2013.00024 | pmc=3695389}}</ref>  The molecular weight of human ceruloplasmin is reported to be 151kDa.


==Function==
==Regulation==
It is an [[enzyme]] ({{EC  number|1.16.3.1}}) synthesized in the liver containing 6 atoms of [[copper]] in its structure. Ceruloplasmin carries 90% of the copper in our plasma. The other 10% is carried by [[albumin]], albumin may be confused at times to have a greater importance as a copper carrier because it binds copper less tightly than ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe<sup>2+</sup> (ferrous iron) into Fe<sup>3+</sup> (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with [[transferrin]], which can only carry iron in the ferric state.
 
A [[cis-regulatory element]] called the [[GAIT element]] is involved in the selective translational silencing of the Ceruloplasmin transcript.<ref name="pmid12588972">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sampath P, Mazumder B, Seshadri V, Fox PL | title = Transcript-selective translational silencing by gamma interferon is directed by a novel structural element in the ceruloplasmin mRNA 3' untranslated region | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 23 | issue = 5 | pages = 1509–19 | date = Mar 2003 | pmid = 12588972 | pmc = 151701 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.23.5.1509-1519.2003 }}</ref>
The silencing requires binding of a cytosolic inhibitor complex called IFN-gamma-activated inhibitor of translation (GAIT) to the GAIT element.<ref name="pmid16267389">{{cite journal | vauthors = Mazumder B, Sampath P, Fox PL | title = Regulation of macrophage ceruloplasmin gene expression: one paradigm of 3'-UTR-mediated translational control | journal = Molecules and Cells | volume = 20 | issue = 2 | pages = 167–72 | date = Oct 2005 | pmid = 16267389 | doi =  }}</ref>
 
== Clinical significance ==


==Pathology==
Like any other plasma protein, levels drop in patients with hepatic disease due to reduced synthesizing capabilities.
Like any other plasma protein, levels drop in patients with hepatic disease due to reduced synthesizing capabilities.


Mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene can lead to the rare genetic human disease [[aceruloplasminemia]], characterized by iron overload in the brain, liver, pancreas, and retina.
Mechanisms of low ceruloplasmin levels:
* Gene expression genetically low ([[aceruloplasminemia]])
* Copper levels are low in general
** [[Malnutrition]]/trace metal deficiency in the food source
* Copper does not cross the intestinal barrier due to [[ATP7A]] deficiency ([[Menkes disease]] and [[Occipital horn syndrome]])
* Delivery of copper into the lumen of the [[Endoplasmic reticulum|ER]]-[[Golgi apparatus|Golgi]] network is absent in [[hepatocyte]]s due to absent [[ATP7B]] ([[Wilson's disease]])
 
Copper availability doesn't affect the translation of the nascent protein. However, the apoenzyme without copper is unstable. Apoceruloplasmin is largely degraded intracellularly in the [[hepatocyte]] and the small amount that is released has a short circulation half life of 5 hours as compared to the 5.5 days for the holo-ceruloplasmin.
 
Mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene (''CP''), which are very rare, can lead to the genetic disease [[aceruloplasminemia]], characterized by hyperferritinemia with iron overload. In the brain, this iron overload may lead to characteristic neurologic signs and symptoms, such as cerebellar [[ataxia]], progressive [[dementia]], and [[extrapyramidal signs]]. Excess iron may also deposit in the liver, pancreas, and retina, leading to [[cirrhosis]], [[endocrine]] abnormalities, and loss of vision, respectively.

Ceruloplasmin (or caeruloplasmin) is a ferroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CP gene.[1][2][3]

Ceruloplasmin is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood, and in addition plays a role in iron metabolism. It was first described in 1948.[4] Another protein, hephaestin, is noted for its homology to ceruloplasmin, and also participates in iron and probably copper metabolism.

Function

Ceruloplasmin is an enzyme (EC 1.16.3.1) synthesized in the liver containing 6 atoms of copper in its structure.[5] Ceruloplasmin carries more than 95% of the total copper in healthy human plasma.[6] The rest is accounted for by macroglobulins. Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe2+ (ferrous iron) into Fe3+ (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with transferrin, which can carry iron only in the ferric state.[7] The molecular weight of human ceruloplasmin is reported to be 151kDa.

Regulation

A cis-regulatory element called the GAIT element is involved in the selective translational silencing of the Ceruloplasmin transcript.[8] The silencing requires binding of a cytosolic inhibitor complex called IFN-gamma-activated inhibitor of translation (GAIT) to the GAIT element.[9]

Clinical significance

Like any other plasma protein, levels drop in patients with hepatic disease due to reduced synthesizing capabilities.

Mechanisms of low ceruloplasmin levels:

Copper availability doesn't affect the translation of the nascent protein. However, the apoenzyme without copper is unstable. Apoceruloplasmin is largely degraded intracellularly in the hepatocyte and the small amount that is released has a short circulation half life of 5 hours as compared to the 5.5 days for the holo-ceruloplasmin.

Mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene (CP), which are very rare, can lead to the genetic disease aceruloplasminemia, characterized by hyperferritinemia with iron overload. In the brain, this iron overload may lead to characteristic neurologic signs and symptoms, such as cerebellar ataxia, progressive dementia, and extrapyramidal signs. Excess iron may also deposit in the liver, pancreas, and retina, leading to cirrhosis, endocrine abnormalities, and loss of vision, respectively.

Deficiency

Lower-than-normal ceruloplasmin levels may indicate the following:

Excess

Greater-than-normal ceruloplasmin levels may indicate or be noticed in:

Reference ranges

Normal blood concentration of ceruloplasmin in humans is 20-50 mg/dL.
