rs2071919

What is the rs2071919 variant?

rs2071919 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the ATP7A (ATPase Copper Transporting Alpha) gene. It belongs to the Metabolic category and is part of the Detox & Medication Sensitivity biological cluster. ATP7A encodes a copper-transporting P-type ATPase that exports copper from cells and provides copper to cuproenzymes.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the ATP7A gene, which is involved in the copper transport / cuproenzyme function pathway. Genes within the Detox & Medication Sensitivity cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
