A process whereby an ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. The directed movement of copper ions across the plasma membrane. The directed movement of copper ions into a cell or organelle. The directed, high-affinity movement of copper (Cu) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. In high affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations. The directed movement of transition metal ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. The directed movement of copper ions out of a cell or organelle. The directed movement of copper (Cu) ions across a membrane. The process whereby a solute is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. This process includes the actual movement of the solute, and any regulation and preparatory steps, such as reduction of the solute. The directed movement of copper (Cu) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of charged atoms or small charged molecules into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore.
