| Copper functions in many enzyme systems, such as lysyl oxidase, ceruloplasmin, cytochrome oxidase, tyrosinase, and Superoxide dismutase. |
| Serum lead, transferrin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin levels were all found to be within normal limits. |
| Traditional screening includes slit-lamp examination of the eyes and serum ceruloplasmin level measurement. |
| Plasma copper levels during pregnancy may be two to three times levels before pregnancy, due to the increased synthesis of ceruloplasmin. |
| This in turn results in reduced binding of copper to a protein called ceruloplasmin, which is produced in the liver. |
| Rand ordered a test for ceruloplasmin, the missing protein that causes Wilson disease. |
