- Transcription factor, Signaling pathway
01
Overview
Metallothionein expression regulators are molecules—primarily transcription factors and signaling pathways—that control the transcriptional activity of metallothionein (MT) genes. Metallothioneins are small, cysteine-rich proteins involved in metal ion homeostasis, detoxification of heavy metals, and protection against oxidative stress. The regulation of their expression is crucial for cellular adaptation to environmental and physiological stressors. Key regulators include MTF-1, TFIID complex, Sp-1, USF-1, and PU.1. Expression can be induced by heavy metals, oxidative agents, cytokines, growth factors, and hormones.
