While ATP7B’s role in hepatic copper export is well established, its functions in other tissues are less understood. This work examines ATP7B expression and trafficking in the human large intestine and ovary. In colonic epithelial cells, ATP7B localizes apically and undergoes copper‑dependent trafficking, supporting a model in which excess copper is packaged into vesicles and excreted into the intestinal lumen. Additionally, using cisplatin‑resistant A2780‑CP20 cells, we show that ATP7B does not traffic in response to copper or cisplatin, suggesting that resistance arises from intracellular binding and sequestration rather than ATP7B‑mediated drug efflux. 000000556 540__ $$fCC BY 000000556 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000556 650__ $$aIntestines$$020963 000000556 650__ $$aAdenosine Triphosphatases$$014245 000000556 650__ $$aOvary$$023388 000000556 650__ $$aHomeostasis$$020285 000000556 650__ $$aOvarian Neoplasms$$023386 000000556 650__ $$aCopper$$017086 000000556 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000556 692__ $$aDepartment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology$$041396 000000556 7001_ $$aZuzel, Vesna$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000556 7201_ $$aLutsenko, Svetlana$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000556 8564_ $$933fa0c17-2ef6-4ad2-8718-008463cf9056$$s1200818$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/556/files/557_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$277284d2e58b55a0437d99f47817f306e$$31 000000556 905__ $$a/rest/prod/9p/29/09/35/9p2909353 000000556 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:556$$pstudent-work 000000556 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000556 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
