Copper is associated with ____ mitochondrial enzymes.
-
- Cytochrome oxidase
- Succinic dehydrogenase
- Catalase
- Acid phosphatase
- Cytochrome oxidase
Correct Option: A
Copper is involved in normalized function of many enzymes, such as cytochrome c oxidase, which is complex IV in mitochondrial electron transport chain, ceruloplasmin, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, and in amine oxidases. These enzymes catalyze reactions for oxidative phosphorylation, iron transportation, antioxidant and free radical scavenging and neutralization, and neurotransmitter synthesis, respectively.
