Ceruloplasmin is primarily known as a copper-binding glycoprotein with roles in iron metabolism and antioxidant defense.
• Ceruloplasmin functions in copper transport and exhibits oxidase activity, which can help moderate oxidative stress.
• Its role in iron metabolism may further influence cellular redox balance and inflammatory processes.
-In several cancer types (such as breast, lung, and colorectal cancers), elevated ceruloplasmin levels have been associated with more aggressive disease features and, in some studies, poorer prognosis.
