The WD gene, ATP7B, encodes a Cu transporting ATPase that is involved in the transport of Cu into the plasma protein ceruloplasmin and in the excretion of Cu from the hepatocyte. ATP7B mutations result in Cu storage in liver and brain. Objective: Most ...

... 1. In a point mutations, one DNA base is substituted for another. Point mutations include missense mutations (which change a triplet base so it specifies a different amino acid) and nonsense mutations (which change an amino acid-encoding codon into a stop codon). Mutations that involve insertion or ...
