Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues that bind various heavy metals (Probable). Acts as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. Possesses superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities in vitro. Involved in ROS homeostasis during anther and pollen development (PubMed:21297036).
