Metallothionein
A low-molecular-weight (approx. 10 kD) protein occurring in the cytoplasm of kidney cortex and liver. It is rich in cysteinyl residues and contains no aromatic amino acids. Metallothionein shows high affinity for bivalent heavy metals.
Year introduced: 1984(1975)
Metallothionein 3
A metallothionein that exhibits neuroinhibitory activity and is involved in the repair of neuronal damage.
Year introduced: 2022 (1993)
