Syntaxin 5 is required for copper homeostasis in Drosophila and mammals.

Syntaxin 5 is required for copper homeostasis in Drosophila and mammals.

Copper is essential for aerobic life, but many aspects of its cellular uptake and distribution remain to be fully elucidated. A genome-wide screen for copper homeostasis genes in Drosophila melanogaster identified the SNARE gene Syntaxin 5 (Syx5) as playing an important role in copper regulation; fl...
