Metallothionein Expression and its Influence on the In Vitro Biological Behavior of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common tumor in the salivary glands, often presenting with recurrence and metastasis due to its high invasive capacity. Metallothionein (MT), a zinc storage protein that supplies this element for protease activity, is probably related to mucoepidermoid carc...
