Physiological pathway of copper in human body. Cu = copper, CP = ceruloplasmin, ATP7B protein is in Hepatocyte.
Simple model of structural feature of ATP7B protein. Cu=Copper binding motif

Wilson disease protein (WND), also known as ATP7B protein, is a copper-transporting P-type ATPase which is encoded by the ATP7B gene. The ATP7B protein is located in the trans-Golgi network of the liver and brain and balances the copper level in the body by excreting excess copper into bile and plasma. Genetic disorder of the ATP7B gene may cause Wilson's disease, a disease in which copper accumulates in tissues, leading to neurological or psychiatric issues and liver diseases.
