CC -!- FUNCTION: Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues CC that bind various heavy metals (Probable). Functions as a metal CC chelator of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Plays a role in Cu homeostasis CC in the roots under elevated Cu concentration. Functions cooperatively CC with the phytochelatin synthase PCS1 to protect plants from Cu and CC cadmium (Cd) toxicity (PubMed:18287486). Plays a role in Cu CC homeostasis, specifically in the remobilization of Cu from senescing CC leaves. The mobilization of Cu from internal sources is important for CC seed development (PubMed:24635746). Confers tolerance to Cd and plays a CC role in Cd and Zn homeostasis (PubMed:16240177).

CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in phloem and mesophyll cells of leaves, CC vascular tissues of cotyledons, sepals and petals. Expressed in CC anthers. Expressed in root endodermis and at lower levels in cortex of CC mature region of roots. {ECO:0000269|Ref.9}. CC -!- INDUCTION: By light stress, drought and salt stress. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11683875}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the metallothionein superfamily. Type 15 family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
