In the Wilson disease (WD) LPP
Atp7b-/- rat model, mutations of ATP7B lead to copper accumulation in the liver and liver mitochondria and structural and functional impairments of these organelles. In this rat model, the copper chelating bacterial peptide methanobactin reduces the mitochondrial copper load and reverses the mitochondrial structure and function. The mitochondrial copper binding protein COX17 is increased in
Atp7b-/- rats, hypothesising a mechanism how to deal with high mitochondrial copper load in WD.
