Target Information
Metallothioneins (MTs) are noncatalytic peptides with diverse roles: essential ion storage, detoxification of nonessential metals, and scavenging of oxyradicals. These peptides localize to the Golgi apparatus membrane. MTs possess the ability to bind both physiological metals (such as zinc, copper, selenium) and xenobiotic heavy metals (like cadmium, mercury, silver, arsenic, lead) via their cysteine residues-which constitute nearly 30% of their amino acid makeup. Despite high homology among vertebrate MTs, fish and mammalian MTs exhibit significant primary structure differences, including the displacement of one cysteine and fewer lysines.
