Metallothionein inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium [NBT] mediated by xanthine oxidase and by NADH-phenazine methosulfate. This catalytic activity of metallothionein for dismutation of O2- is dependent on the copper content in metallothionein.
金属硫蛋白以浓度依赖的方式抑制了由黄嘌呤氧化酶和NADH-吩嗪硫酸甲酯介导的硝基蓝四唑(NBT)的还原反应。金属硫蛋白对超氧阴离子(O2-)歧化反应的这种催化活性取决于金属硫蛋白中的铜含量。
