Antigenicity of metallothionein. [PDF]
The antigenic determinants of vertebrate metallothionein have been determined by a competitive-binding double-antibody radioimmunoassay to consist of two immunologically dominant regions in the NH2-terminal domain (residues 1-29). The COOH-terminal domain (residues 30-61) exhibited trivial immunoreactivity in competitive binding assays.

We have reported that sulforaphane (SFN) prevented diabetic cardiomyopathy in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) animal models via the upregulation of nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) and metallothionein (MT).

Zinc Supplementation Dosage Variations to Metallothionein Protein Level of Rattus Norvegicus
Zinc is an essential trace element involving in the activity of more than 300 enzymes and proteins of human body. One important role of zinc is to improve metallothionein protein binding heavy metals and functioning as heavy metal detoxification ...

Differential Effects of the Hormonal and Copper Intrauterine Device on the Endometrial Transcriptome. [PDF]
The contraceptive effectiveness of intrauterine devices (IUDs) has been attributed in part to a foreign body reaction in the endometrium. We performed this study to better understand mechanisms of action of contraceptives of by studying their effects on ...

Tissue-specific expression from a compound TATA-dependent and TATA-independent promoter [PDF]
We have found that the mouse metallothionein-I (MT-I) gene promoter functions in an unusual, compound manner. It directs both TATA-dependent and TATA-independent modes of transcription in vivo.

Mammalian Metallothionein-3: New Functional and Structural Insights
Metallothionein-3 (MT-3), a member of the mammalian metallothionein (MT) family, is mainly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). MT-3 possesses a unique neuronal growth inhibitory activity, and the levels of this intra- and extracellularly ...

Genotoxic and stress inductive potential of cadmium in Xenopus laevis larvae [PDF]
The present investigation evaluates the toxic potential of Cd in larvae of the frog Xenopus laevis after 12 days of exposure to environmentally relevant contamination levels, close to those measured in the river Lot (France).
