CC -!- FUNCTION: Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues CC that bind various heavy metals (Probable). Acts as a reactive oxygen CC species (ROS) scavenger. Possesses superoxide anion and hydroxyl CC radical scavenging activities in vitro. Involved in ROS homeostasis CC during anther and pollen development (PubMed:21297036). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21297036, ECO:0000305}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in roots (PubMed:21297036). CC Expressed in leaves, rachis, inflorescences and seeds CC (PubMed:17002881). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17002881, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:21297036}. CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: During anther development, expressed from stage 8 CC to stage 12. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21297036}. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Plants silencing MT4C show decreased pollen fertility CC and increased level of superoxide anion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21297036}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the metallothionein superfamily. Type 15 family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
