Anti-MT2a | Metallothionein 2a

Product Specifications

Background

MT2a (Metallothionein 2a) is a cysteine-rich, low molecular mass protein with a metal ion binding function. Metallothionenins (MTs) are involved in many physiological processes such as metal ion homeostasis, detoxification of excess metals and protection against oxidative stress.
