MCG scientists find copper transporter as potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases An internal transporter that enables us to use the copper we consume in foods like shellfish and nuts to enable a host of vital body functions also has the essential role of protecting the receptor that enables us to grow new blood vessels when ours become diseased, Medical College of Georgia scientists report. The findings published in the journal Nature Communications point toward the copper transporter ATP7A as a potential new therapeutic target in treating cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, peripheral artery disease and stroke. Our paper is talking about a newly discovered function of ATP7A, says Dr. Masuko Ushio-Fukai, vascular biologist in MCG s Vascular Biology Center. Our paper shows that ATP7A directly binds to the receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, called VEGFR2, to stabilize it, to regulate the receptor itself, she says of the receptor that enab
