Phytochelatin 3

• Description:

  Phytochelatin 3 (PC 3) is the small metal chelating peptide that can be used for chelating heavy metals. Phytochelatin 3 is a short metal detoxification peptide made from the sulfur-rich molecule glutathione. Phytochelatin 3 can be found in different sources including plant, fungal, algal, and bacterial species, as a detoxification mechanism in response to heavy metal exposure. Phytochelatin 3 plays an important metabolic role in plants[1][2][3].
