“…Metallothioneins (MTs) are members of the family of low molecular weight cysteine proteins (molecular weights ranging from 500 to 14,000 daltons) (8) . Metallothionein proteins have the ability to bind to the physiological heavy metals (zinc, cooper, selenium) and non-physiological heavy ions (cadmium, mercury, silver, arsenic), using the thiol group of the cysteine amino acids (Cystine amino acid consist about 30% of the amino acid content of the metallothionein proteins) (9) . They exist in all living organisms and accumulate in the membrane of the golgi apparatus (10) .…”

“…Numerous studies confirm an increase in MT concentration as a response to inflammation [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. There are numerous reports on the relationship between the polymorphism of genes encoding MT and the concentration of metals in the body [ 29 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. To date, the above relationships have not been studied in the group of patients with acute pancreatitis.…”

“…The PCR reactions in the MT1A gene (located in exon 2 [ 35 ] in the β-domain coding region of MT molecule), MT1B gene (located in intron 1 [ 5 ] in the β-domain coding region of MT molecule) and MT2A gene (located in 3′UTR [ 49 ]) were performed with 20.0 µL as the final volume of PCR reaction mixture. It consisted of 0.6 μL of primers (working concentration: 10 pmol/μL), 2 µL extracted DNA, 12.8 µL PCR clean water and 4 µL Gold Hot-Start PCR Mix (Cat.…”

“…MT binds to and sequesters Pb. It has been proposed that polymorphisms of MT (MT1 and MT2) may affect binding of Pb to MT and lead to an increased PbB (Chen et al 2010;Fernandes et al 2016;Mitra et al 2017;Yang et al 2013b).…”
