Description

Human Metallothionein / MT ELISA

Metallothionein / MT is a low molecular weight, cysteine-rich protein which binds to divalent heavy metal ions, altering the intracellular concentration of heavy metals in the cell. Metallothionein / MT acts as an anti-oxidant to protect against hydroxyl free radicals, and plays a role in detoxification of heavy metals. Metallothionein / MT also controls intracellular zinc levels, thereby affecting apoptotic and autophagy pathways. Diseases associated with Metallothionein / MT include Xeroderma Pigmentosum, and Menkes Disease.
