【摘要】 金属硫蛋白(metallothionein,MT)为富含巯基,能螯合大量的金属离子的蛋白。MT广泛存在人体、动物、植物以及微生物中,其理化特性基本一致。由于MT分子中含有20个游离的巯基(-SH)基因以及由它们组成的多个巯基簇,使其具有非常重要的功能。近年来,MT对脏器纤维化和肿瘤疾病发生与凋亡调控的密切关系成为医药卫生领域研究的热点问题,有可能成为新的创新药物防治的靶点。更多还原

【Abstract】 Metallothionein is a sulfhydryl-rich,and chelating a large number of metal ions,which is widely found in biological world.It is very highlighted that MT had the same physical and chemical features from different origins.Plenty of research data indicated that MTs contain 20 free sulfhydryl genes,as well as their sulfhydryl clusters,It is a multifunctional protein in health.Many experiments demonstrate that MTs may be a novel target of original new drugs because they play a role in regulating and controlling the organ fibrosis and tumor.更多还原
