C. elegans metallothioneins: new insights into the phenotypic effects of cadmium toxicosis.

Journal of molecular biology - 20 Aug 2004

Swain S C, Keusekotten K, Baumeister R, Stürzenbaum S R

Abstract excerpt

Metallothioneins are considered to be the primary player in the detoxification of and protection from cadmium, a teratogen, mutagen and potentially lethal heavy metal. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has only two metallothioneins, mtl-i and mtIl-2, thus making it an ideal organism to investigate the phenotypic effects of cadmium toxicosis. The functional importance of metallothioneins in cadmium trafficking...
