Electron transfer: Cytochrome C Oxidase CCO.

Reactive oxygen species ROS control: Superoxide Dismutase SOD.

Extra Cellular Matrix ECM structure: Lysyl Oxidase LOX.

Copper is normally bound to:

Ceruloplasmin: systemic transport + redox buffering.

Metallothioneins: intracellular buffering

Enzymes: functional copper.
