Neuroprotective and neuroregenerative properties of metallothioneins.

IUBMB life - 1 Feb 2012

Santos Cecília R A, Martinho Ana, Quintela Telma, Gonçalves Isabel

Abstract excerpt

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular weight cysteine- and metal-rich proteins with unquestionable metal binding capacity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and a clear involvement in diverse physiological actions as inhibition of proapoptotic mechanisms, enhancement of cell survival, and tissue regeneration. Concurrent with this wide array of functions, MT-1/2 have been implicated in...
