General annotation
Function
May play a role in essential metal ion homeostasis (especially zinc homeostasis) and resistance to certain non- essential metal ions. Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues that bind various heavy metals
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the metallothionein superfamily. Type 14 family
