since zinc in physiological concentrations stimulates a number of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent reactions and in pharmacological doses inhibits an extensive number of sh-containing enzymes and receptor sites for neurotransmitters , we postulate that the metallothionein-like protein in the brain may have function ( s ) associated with zinc homeostasis and perhaps events related to synaptic functions .
