초록
Methallothioneins(MTs) are low-molecular-mass cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins with high affinity for heavy metal ions, found in a large variety of organisms. Although the biological functions of MTS have not been fully elucidated, they are thought to play an important role in detoxification of toxic elements such as cadmium and mercury.(omitted)
