Rabbit Liver Metallothionein. Tentative Amino Acid Sequence of Metallothionein-B

  • Chapter
Metallothionein

Part of the book series: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 34))

Abstract

The primary structure of equine renal metallothionein-1B was first reported by Kojima et al. (1). Most recently, Kissling and Kägi (2) have elucidated the amino acid sequence of human hepatic metallothionein-II and compared it to the known structure of the former. Huang et al. (3) have also demonstrated the complete sequence of hepatic metallothionein-I obtained from the liver of mouse administered with cadmium. We report the amino acid sequence of liver metallothionein-B isolated from rabbits exposed to cadmium.
