TAIR Curator Summary | CCH protein belongs to a family of eukaryotic proteins that participate in intracellular copper homeostasis by delivering this metal to the secretory pathway; mainly located along the vascular bundles of senescing leaves and petioles as well as in stem sieve elements; hypothesized to have a role in copper mobilization from decaying organs towards reproductive structures, as a result of metalloprotein breakdown. The plant-specific C-terminal domain of the CCH protein forms amyloid-like fibrils in vitro. |
