Phytochelatin 3

Description:

Phytochelatin 3 is a type of phytochelatin, which is a class of peptides synthesized by plants in response to heavy metal stress. It is characterized by its ability to bind metal ions, particularly cadmium, lead, and other toxic metals, thereby playing a crucial role in metal detoxification and homeostasis within plant cells. The structure of Phytochelatin 3 typically consists of a repeating unit of gamma-glutamylcysteine, with a terminal glycine residue, which contributes to its chelating properties. This compound is important in bioremediation processes, as it helps plants tolerate and accumulate heavy metals from contaminated environments. Additionally, phytochelatins are involved in various physiological processes, including stress response and signaling pathways. The CAS number 86220-45-3 specifically identifies Phytochelatin 3, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases. Overall, Phytochelatin 3 exemplifies the intricate relationship between plants and their environment, showcasing their adaptive mechanisms to survive in challenging conditions.
