Recombinant Human MT1E Protein，His

MT1E, a member of the metallothionein family, is a low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich protein involved in metal ion homeostasis and detoxification. Research on MT1E has gained traction due to its significant role in cellular protection against heavy metal toxicity and oxidative stress. Studies have shown that MT1E can bind various heavy metals, such as cadmium and zinc, facilitating their removal or storage in cells, which is crucial for maintaining cellular metal balance. Additionally, the expression of MT1E has been linked to various physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammation. Its dysregulation can lead to increased sensitivity to oxidative damage and metal-induced toxicity, highlighting the importance of understanding its biological function and regulation. Recent advances in recombinant technology have enabled the production of MT1E in various host systems, facilitating detailed functional and structural studies. These insights open new avenues for therapeutic applications, particularly in developing strategies for metal detoxification and enhancing stress resistance in both plant and animal models. The ongoing investigation into the diverse roles of MT1E continues to reveal its potential as a biomarker for environmental exposure to heavy metals and its promising prospects in biomedical research.
