Abstract excerpt
Human metallothionein-3 (hMT3), also named human neuronal growth inhibitory factor (hGIF), is attractive due to its distinct neuronal growth inhibitory activity, which is not shown by other human MT isoforms. It has been reported that the neuronal growth inhibitory activity arises from the N-terminal beta-domain rather than its C-terminal alpha-domain. However, previous bioassay results have shown that the single...
