Crystals of cadmium, zinc metallothionein.
Single crystals have been grown of Cd,Zn metallothionein isoform II from rat liver. The space group is P41212(P43212) with unit cell dimensions a = b = 31.0 A and c = 120.0 A, and one molecule in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The crystals are square bipyramids elongated on the tetragonal c-axis and are grown by repetitive seeding. The crystals are suitable for high resolution structure ...
متن کاملAnti-metallothionein IgG and levels of metallothionein in autistic families.
Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of small proteins containing 61-68 amino acids with an unusually high concentration of cysteine. MT-1, the most functional and active MT in humans, has the ability to react with and enhance the detoxification of a number of metals including zinc, mercury, copper and cadmium. MT dysfunction may result, then, in many of the aetiological syndromes observed in au...
متن کاملAnti-metallothionein IgG and levels of metallothionein in autistic children with GI disease
AIM To assess both serum concentration of metallotionein (MT) and anti-metallothionein (anti-MT) immunoglobulin G (IgG) in autistic children with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and controls, and to test the hypothesis that there is an association between the presence of MT, anti-MT IgG, and inflammatory GI disease seen in many children with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). SUBJECTS AND METHO...
متن کاملPlasma metallothionein antibody and cadmium-induced renal dysfunction in an occupational population in China.
It has been reported that anti-metallothionein (a metallothionein antibody) is present in the circulation of healthy subjects and in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cadmium-induced renal dysfunction is related to the presence of the plasma metallothionein antibody (MT-Ab) in workers exposed to cadmium (Cd) occupationally. Plasma metall...
