Bacterial metallothioneins [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2017 Abstract Heavy metals are found in all living organisms where, as indispensable microelements (e.g. zinc, iron, copper), are involved in endless metabolic processes. However, living organisms are also at a risk of exposure to highly toxic metals, including cadmium or lead, which do not play any physiological role.

Mammalian Metallothionein-2A and Oxidative Stress
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Mammalian metallothionein-2A (MT2A) has received considerable attention in recent years due to its crucial pathophysiological role in anti-oxidant, anti-apoptosis, detoxification and anti-inflammation.

The Evolution of Insect Metallothioneins [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 ABSTRACTMetallothioneins (MTs) are a family of cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins that are important in the chelating and detoxification of toxic heavy metals. Until now, the short length and the low sequence complexity of MTs has hindered the possibility of any phylogenetic reconstruction, hampering the study of their evolution.

The Role of Metallothionein in Oxidative Stress
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Free radicals are chemical particles containing one or more unpaired electrons, which may be part of the molecule. They cause the molecule to become highly reactive.

Metallothionein in Brain Disorders
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017 Metallothioneins are a family of proteins which are able to bind metals intracellularly, so their main function is to regulate the cellular metabolism of essential metals.
