MTs are small cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins found in many species and, although
there are differences between them, it is of note that they have a great deal of sequence and …

Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal with strong carcinogenic properties has been linked with
breast cancer risk. Epidemiological data on the association between Cd exposure and …

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women and is the
leading cause of female cancer deaths. Zinc (Zn) functions as an antioxidant and plays a …

Metallothioneins (MTs) belong to a family of cysteine-rich, metal-binding intracellular
proteins, which have been linked with cell proliferation. In this study, expression levels of the …

The metallothionein family is a class of low‐molecular‐weight, cysteine‐rich proteins with
high affinity for metal ions. Four major isoforms (metallothionein‐1,‐2,‐3, and‐4) have been …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of small proteins having a molecular weight from 6 to 10
kDa. They are found throughout the animal kingdom, in plants, and in certain eukaryotic and …

Metallothionein (MT) has been extensively investigated as a molecular marker of various
types of cancer. In spite of the fact that numerous reviews have been published in this field …

BACKGROUND The prognosis for patients with osteosarcoma has improved over the past
20 years, mainly due to developments in chemotherapy. Some proteins have been reported …

Metallothioneins are ubiquitous low molecular weight proteins characterised by high
cysteine content and affinity for binding heavy metals. Abnormal metallothionein function …

Metallothionein (MT) plays a role in fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation,
apoptosis and differentiation. We examined MT expression in women with invasive breast …
