Copper-transporting ATPases are a group of heavy metal-transporting proteins and which can be found in all living organisms. In animals, they are generally referred to as ATP7 proteins and are involved in many different physiological processes including the maintaining of copper homeostasis and the supply of copper to cuproenzymes. A singleATP7gene is present in non-chordate animals while it is divided intoATP7AandATP7Bin chordates. In humans, dysfunction of ATP7 proteins can lead to severe genetic disorders, such as, Menkes disease and Wilson's disease, which are characterized by abnormal copper transport and accumulation, causing significant health complications. Therefore, there is a substantial amount of research onATP7genes and ATP7 proteins in humans and mice to understand pathophysiological conditions and find potential therapeutic interventions. Copper-transporting ATPases have also been investigated in some non-mammalian vertebrates, protostomes, single-cellular eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and archaea to gain useful evolutionary insights. However, ATP7 function in many animals has been somewhat neglected, particularly in non-bilaterians. Previous reviews on this topic only broadly summarized the available information on the function and evolution ofATP7genes and ATP7 proteins and included only the classic vertebrate and invertebrate models. Given this, and the fact that a considerable amount of new information on this topic has been published in recent years, the present study was undertaken to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive summary ofATP7s/ATP7s and give new insights into their evolutionary relationships. Additionally, this work provides a framework for studying these genes and proteins in non-bilaterians. As early branching animals, they are important to understand the evolution of function of these proteins and their important role in copper homeostasis and neurotransmission.
