The metal-binding features of the recombinant mussel Mytilus edulis MT-10-IV metallothionein.
In contrast with the paradigmatic mammalian metallothioneins (MTs), mollusc MT systems consist at least of a high-cadmium induced form, possibly involved in detoxification, and another isoform either constitutive or regulated by essential metals and probably associated with housekeeping metabolism. With the aim […]
