A zinc-binding protein has been isolated and purified from the liver of the icefish Chionodraco hamatus. The icefish Zn-protein has characteristics distinct from those of metallothionein. The amino acid composition shows a low content of cysteine and a high content of glutamate and aspartate. No metallothionein has been detected in the extracts from icefish liver.

Abstract
A zinc-binding protein has been isolated and purified from the liver of the icefish Chionodraco hamatus. The icefish Zn-protein has characteristics distinct from those of metallothionein. The amino acid composition shows a low content of cysteine and a high content of glutamate and aspartate. No metallothionein has been detected in the extracts from icefish liver.File in questo prodotto:
