However, it also is a \u2018moonlighting\u2019 protein, performing various other functions outside of its typical role with copper. For example, it also acts as a ferroxidase, catalyzing the oxidation of iron (II) to iron (III). This pendant is made of copper to highlight ceruloplasmin\u2019s role with copper ions. Additionally, this protein is naturally blue, so a blue-green patina was used to alter the color of the piece to reflect this characteristic. The raised pieces of copper (free of the patina finish) represent the six approximate locations that copper binds to the protein.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/psquared\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2272\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/psquared\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/Final-picture-to-be-used-in-post.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/psquared\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2273\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/psquared\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot-300x203.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot-768x519.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/150\/files\/2017\/06\/4ENZ_screenshot-400x270.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human Ceruloplasmin PDB ID: 4ENZ Karissa Renyer Ceruloplasmin is the main copper-carrying protein in the blood.
