Metallothionein 3 (MT3) contains 3 zinc and 3 copper atoms per polypeptide chain and a minor amount of cadmium. MT3 inhibits survival and neurite formation of cortical neurons in vitro. MT3 also binds heavy metals.  

MT3 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 91 amino acids (1-68) and having a molecular mass of 9.3kDa (molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear higher).
MT3 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered clear solution.

The MT3 solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl and 10% glycerol.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
