Abstract

Nowadays, water and environment have been polluted in a fast manner by domestic, agricultural and industrial activities. As a matter of fact that water, soil and atmosphere are polluted, aquacultural products in the nature or cultivated habitat are contaminated by heavy metals. Therefore, there is a protective protein called metallothionein in aquacultural products to protect them from heavy metal toxicity. Metallothionein is well used as heavy metals indicators in aquatic organisms such as brown trout, white shrimp, freshwater mussel and crab., Descirption of the metallothionein and its features, and the studies evaluating the metallothionein as heavy metals indicators in aquatic organisms is presented in this review.

Su Ürünlerinde Metallotionein Proteinleri

Abstract

Günümüzde su ve çevre evsel, tarımsal
ve endüstriyel faaliyetler ile hızlı bir şekilde kirlenmektedir. Bu kirliliğin içinde ağır metal kirliliği oldukça
önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Suyun, toprağın ve atmosferin ağır metallerle
kirlenmesi sonucu, doğal ortamlarında yaşayan veya yetiştiriciliği yapılan su
ürünleri ağır metallerle kontamine olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, su ürünleri, ağır
metal zehirlenmesine karşı kendini korumak için metallotionein olarak
isimlendirilen korucu bir protein oluşturmaktadırlar. Metallotioneinler su
ürünlerinden kahverengi alabalıklarda, tatlısu midyelerinde, yengeçlerinde ve
beyaz karideslerde başarılı şekilde kirlilik indikatörü olarak
kullanılmaktadır. Metallotionein tanımına ve özelliklerine ve ayrıca sucul
canlılarda ağır metal indikatörü olarak metallotioneinlerin kullanıldığı araştırmalara
bu derlemede yer verilmiştir.

Keywords
