J Biol Chem 282 36 (2007) 26471-26480. By measuring transport of radioactive copper and performing surface biotinylation in polarized cells the authors demonstrate the presence of CTR1 in basolateral membrane of intestinal cells. This observation suggests a general role for CTR1 in copper acquisition from the blood.
