Did you mean Metallothionein?

GlossaryMetallothionein

protein that binds heavy metals, aiding detoxification and regulation

Metallothionein is a type of protein that binds to heavy metals like zinc, copper, and cadmium, helping to regulate their levels in the body and protect cells from metal toxicity. It plays a crucial role in metal ion metabolism and detoxification, and is also involved in the body's response to oxidative stress.
