MT1X

MT1X (Metallothionein 1X): MT1X belongs to the metallothionein family, which plays a significant role in metal ion homeostasis and detoxification, as well as protection against oxidative stress. Metallothioneins bind heavy metals, neutralizing their toxicity and aiding in their metabolism and excretion. MT1X, like other members of this family, is involved in the response to heavy metal exposure, oxidative stress, and inflammation, and has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, due to its role in cell proliferation and apoptosis....
