A plasma copper protein that functions as an enzyme and results in the formation of hallucination producing products from natural amines ceruplasmin.
A copper-containing globulin in blood plasma with a molecular weight of 150,000 and eight copper atoms. It catalyzes the oxidation of amines, phenols, and ascorbic acid. It is reduced in amount in Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular disease).
A protein with which most of the blood’s copper is combined. Elevated levels may occur in liver disease, leukemia, and heart attack; decreased levels occur in other forms of liver disease and in nutritional deficiencies.
A copper-containing protein present in blood plasma. Congenital deficiency of ceruloplasmin leads to abnormalities of the brain and liver.
A blue glycoprotein to which most of the copper in the blood is attached. It is decreased in Wilson’s disease.
There exists a protein traversing through the bloodstream that binds itself to copper and facilitates its transportation.
