This study examined the role of the high-affinity copper uptake protein hCTR1 in cellular copper homeostasis and found hCTR1 was internalized in response to raised copper levels. The work from this thesis supports a model in which the regulation of hCTR1 is partially or wholly dependent upon internal copper levels
