Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of low-molecular-weight cysteine-rich proteins and are thought to play possible roles in metal metabolism or detoxification. To evaluate the roles of metallothioneins in metal homeostasis or tolerance in Avicennia marina, a real-time quantitative PCR protocol was
Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight, cysteine-rich, metal-binding proteins that are important for essential metal homeostasis, protection against oxidative stress, and buffering against toxic heavy metals. In this work the gene encoding an MT type 2 from Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh.
