Abstract

Metallothioneins (MT) are a class of cysteine-rich, low-molecular-weight metal-binding proteins widely distributed in organisms, which can chelate various metal ions. In recent years, MT has been increasingly studied in different aspects due to its special functions. This paper briefly describes the structural characteristics, physical and chemical properties, and distribution ofMT and reviews the research advances in its participation in detoxication, free radical scavenging, and trace element metabolism.
