Copper resistance protein B precursor (CopB)
This family consists of several bacterial copper resistance proteins. Copper is essential and serves as cofactor for more than 30 enzymes yet a surplus of copper is toxic and leads to radical formation and oxidation of biomolecules. Therefore, copper homeostasis is a key requisite for every organizm. CopB serves to extrude copper when it approaches toxic levels.
