Comparative studies of the nucleotide sequences of metallothionein-like plant genes [PDF]
, 1994 Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight, cysteine-rich, metal binding proteins, whose proposed functions include roles in essential trace metal homeostasis and the detoxification of certain non-essential metals.

On the nature of the Cu-rich aggregates in brain astrocytes
Redox Biology, 2017 Fulfilling a bevy of biological roles, copper is an essential metal for healthy brain function. Cu dyshomeostasis has been demonstrated to be involved in some neurological conditions including Menkes and Alzheimer's diseases.

Structure of Mammalian Metallothionein [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1984 All mammalian metallothioneins characterized contain a single polypeptide chain of 61 amino acid residues, among them 20 cysteines providing the ligands for seven metal-binding sites. Native metallothioneins are usually heterogeneous in metal composition, with Zn, Cd, and Cu occurring in varying proportions.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.
