High-affinity copper transporter of plasma membrane; mediates nearly all copper uptake under low copper conditions; transcriptionally induced at low copper levels and degraded at high copper levels; protein increases in abundance and relocalizes from nucleus to plasma membrane upon DNA replication stress; human homolog SLC31A1 can complement a yeast ctr1 ctr3 double deletion [Source:SGD;Acc:S000006328]
