Metal ions {copper, nutrition} can be in enzymes. Ceruloplasmin protein carries copper in blood. Copper is for myelin production, melanin production, hemoglobin production, respiratory chain, oxygen transport, and iron release. Copper is in blood vessels, tendons, and bone collagen. Bile regulates copper level in blood. Low copper causes red-blood-cell anemia, connective-tissue damage, blood-vessel damage, nerve problems, and low color. There are hereditary copper diseases {Menke's syndrome} {Wilson's disease}.
