Description xiii, 216 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary The copper-transporting ATP7B protein is defective in patients with Wilson disease, which causes the accumulation of toxic levels of copper in the body particularly in the liver. This thesis provides new information about how ATP7B maintains copper levels in the body within safe limits Notes Submitted to the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences of the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, Deakin University Thesis (Ph.D.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2004 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 196-216 Subject Copper -- Physiological effect.
