Description About Metallothionein
Metallothionein (MT) is widely distributed in brain nerve cells, and has the functions of regulating nerve cell differentiation and clearing brain neurotoxins.
Metallothionein is a class of low molecular weight proteins rich in cysteine and metals. Because it combines a large number of metal ions and has special physiological functions, it is valued by the field of biochemistry.
The research on metallothionein has a history of more than 40 years, and the research on its structure, characteristics, gene regulation and biological function has been deepened day by day. The research results have involved various fields such as medicine, toxicology, nutrition, bioengineering, beauty and skin care, etc. The application prospect is very broad.
Metallothionein (MT) has multi-faceted value in the field of functional food: it can be made into functional food resistant to heavy metal and radiation pollution, especially in the current increasingly serious pollution environment, which will show greater value. It can be made into a functional food that can scavenge free radicals, resist cell oxidation, and delay aging.Metallothionein can provide organisms with essential trace elements (such as zinc, copper, cobalt, etc.) , can be used as a safe new food additive to supplement the nutrients of formula foods for special medical purposes that are essential elements for the human body.
