Molecular evolution and functional divergence of the metallothionein gene family in vertebrates.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Apr 2014

Serén Nina, Glaberman Scott, Carretero Miguel A, Chiari Ylenia

Abstract excerpt

The metallothionein (MT) gene superfamily consists of metal-binding proteins involved in various metal detoxification and storage mechanisms. The evolution of this gene family in vertebrates has mostly been studied in mammals using sparse taxon or gene sampling. Genomic databases and available da...
