Metallothioneins (MTs) represent a family of proteins characterized by high, heavy metal content [mainly Cu(II) and Zn(II)], and by an unusual cysteine abundance. This book explores the role of MTs in the field of neurological disorders (brain inflammation, Alzheimers and prion diseases, autism and ALS), cardiology, and oncology.
