Myriapod Metallothioneins Conserve the Ancestral Architecture of Arthropods while Displaying Lineage-Specific Adaptations in Metal Binding
{{output}}
Metallothioneins (MTs) are central to metal metabolism and contribute to organismal adaptation to variable metal bioavailability across ecosystems. Although well studied in chordates and mollusks, MTs remain poorly investigated in many arthropod lineages, part... ...
