| Tissue Specificity | Most abundant in liver and kidney and also found in brain. Isoform 2 is expressed in brain but not in liver. The cleaved form WND/140 kDa is found in liver cell lines and other tissues. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Isoform 1 may be proteolytically cleaved at the N-terminus to produce the WND/140 kDa form. |
| Function | Copper ion transmembrane transporter involved in the export of copper out of the cells. It is involved in copper homeostasis in the liver, where it ensures the efflux of copper from hepatocytes into the bile in response to copper overload. |
