Ceruloplasmin

Ceruloplasmin is a copper-containing protein that plays a key role in iron metabolism and acts as an antioxidant by oxidizing ferrous iron to ferric iron, facilitating its incorporation into transferrin. It is mainly produced in the liver and is involved in the transport of copper throughout the body. The ceruloplasmin test is used to assess copper metabolism and diagnose conditions like Wilson's disease, where copper accumulates in tissues, or Menke’s disease, a disorder of copper transport. Low levels of ceruloplasmin are typically seen in Wilson's disease, while elevated levels may be associated with inflammatory conditions, liver disease, or some forms of cancer. The test can help monitor these conditions and guide treatment.
