Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Metal ion binding**: MT1E exhibits high affinity for zinc, copper, and cadmium ions, allowing it to bind and sequester these metals within cells. 2. **Detoxification of metal ions**: By binding to metal ions, MT1E facilitates their removal from the cytosol, thereby preventing oxidative stress and cellular damage. 3. **Intracellular zinc ion homeostasis**: MT1E plays a critical role in regulating zinc ion levels within cells, which is essential for various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, enzyme activity, and cell signaling. 4. **Negative regulation of growth**: MT1E has been shown to inhibit cell growth and proliferation in response to metal ion exposure, suggesting its role in preventing metal-induced carcinogenesis. 5. **Cell type-specific expression**: MT1E is expressed in various cell types, including hepatoblasts, epithelial cells of exocrine pancreas, thyroid follicular cells, and skeletal muscle satellite stem cells. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Cellular responses to stimuli**: MT1E is involved in the regulation of cellular responses to metal ion exposure, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. 2. **Detoxification of copper ion**: MT1E plays a key role in the removal of copper ions from the cytosol, preventing copper toxicity and oxidative damage. 3. **Intracellular zinc ion homeostasis**: MT1E regulates zinc ion levels within cells, ensuring proper zinc-dependent cellular processes. 4. **Metal ion binding**: MT1E binds to metal ions, facilitating their sequestration and removal from the cytosol. 5. **Negative regulation of growth**: MT1E inhibits cell growth and proliferation in response to metal ion exposure, preventing metal-induced carcinogenesis. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Metal toxicity**: MT1E's role in regulating metal ion homeostasis and detoxification makes it a potential target for the treatment of metal-related diseases, such as zinc deficiency, copper toxicity, and cadmium-induced nephropathy. 2. **Cancer prevention**: MT1E's ability to inhibit cell growth and proliferation in response to metal ion exposure suggests its potential role in preventing metal-induced carcinogenesis. 3. **Neurodegenerative diseases**: MT1E's involvement in zinc ion homeostasis and metal ion binding may contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 4. **Regulation of gene expression**: MT1E's interaction with metal ions may influence gene expression, potentially affecting cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival. In conclusion, Metallothionein 1E (MT1E) is a crucial protein involved in maintaining metal ion homeostasis and detoxification within cells. Its unique characteristics and functions have significant implications for our understanding of cellular responses to metal ions and the development of strategies for metal toxicity and disease. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the role of MT1E in human health and disease.
