CutA1

CutA1 or periplasmic divalent cation tolerance protein is involved in copper tolerance in E. coli. In mammals it is implicated in the anchoring of acetylcholinesterase in the neural cell membrane. The thermostability of CutA1 from Pyrococcus horikoshii is extremely high.^[1] See Divalent cation tolerant protein CUTA from Homo sapiens O60888.
