Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase) (CP) gene, located at chromosome 3q23-q25, which encodes for the protein ceruloplasmin (a plasma metalloprotein) responsible for binding copper in plasma. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with aceruloplasminemia and Wilson\'s disease.
