Insights into the nature of uranium target proteins within zebrafish gills after chronic and acute waterborne exposures

New data on the nature of the protein targets of U within the zebrafish gills were collected after waterborne exposure to better understand uranium (U) toxicity mechanisms. This study evidenced some common characteristics of the U protein target binding properties such as their role in other essential metals regulation and their phosphorus content. In total 21 potential protein targets, including hemoglobin, were identified and discussed regarding the literature. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
