Abstract

The copper concentration was investigated in the cultured astrocytes from macular mice, an animal model of Menkes disease. An excessive amount of copper was accumulated in the astrocytes as copper-metallothionein. These results show that the underlying genetic defect of the macular mouse is expressed in the astrocytes. A similar situation may exist in Menkes disease and cause a failure of copper transport to neurones.
