Abstract:
Metallothionein (MT) is a low molecular weight (approximately 6,700 Da), cysteine-rich, heat-stable protein that can be induced by a variety of metals including cadmium, copper and zinc. One of the main functions of metallothionein is to protect against toxicity mediated by metals. Besides metal detoxification, the abundant sulfur molecules of the protein contribute to its function as free radical scavengers.
