Labile copper(II) ions (Cu2+) in serum are considered to be readily available for cellular uptake and to constitute the biologically active Cu2+ species in the blood. It might also be suitable to reflect copper dyshomeostasis during diseases such as Wilson's disease (WD) or neurological disorders. So far, no direct quantification method has been described to determine this small Cu2+ subset. This study introduces a fluorometric high throughput assay using the novel Cu2+ binding fluoresceine-peptide sensor FP4 (Kd of the Cu2+-FP4-complex 0.38 pM) to determine labile Cu2+ in human and rat serum. Using 96 human serum samples, labile Cu2+was measured to be 0.14 ± 0.05 pM, showing no correlation with age or other serum trace elements. No sex-specific differences in labile Cu2+ concentrations were noted, in contrast to the total copper levels in serum. Analysis of the effect of drug therapy on labile Cu2+ in the sera of 19 patients with WD showed a significant decrease in labile Cu2+ following copper chelation therapy, suggesting that labile Cu2+ may be a specific marker of disease status and that the assay could be suitable for monitoring treatment progress.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D003300 Copper A heavy metal trace element with the atomic symbol Cu, atomic number 29, and atomic weight 63.55. Copper-63,Copper 63
D005470 Fluorometry An analytical method for detecting and measuring FLUORESCENCE in compounds or targets such as cells, proteins, or nucleotides, or targets previously labeled with FLUORESCENCE AGENTS. Fluorimetry,Fluorometric Analysis,Analysis, Fluorometric
D006527 Hepatolenticular Degeneration A rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the deposition of copper in the BRAIN; LIVER; CORNEA; and other organs. It is caused by defects in the ATP7B gene encoding copper-transporting ATPase 2 (EC 3.6.3.4), also known as the Wilson disease protein. The overload of copper inevitably leads to progressive liver and neurological dysfunction such as LIVER CIRRHOSIS; TREMOR; ATAXIA and intellectual deterioration. Hepatic dysfunction may precede neurologic dysfunction by several years.
