Dysregulation of intracellular copper homeostasis is common to transgenic mice expressing human mutant superoxide dismutase-1s regardless of their copper-binding abilities

Over 170 mutations in superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The properties of SOD1 mutants differ considerably including copper-binding abilities. Nevertheless, they cause the same disease phenotype, suggesting a common neurotoxic pathway. We have pre...
