Abstract: Metallothionein is a kind of intracellular micromolecule protein which could regulate the balances of intracellular metal ions, and be induced by these ions.The author primarily clarifies the reasons that metallothionein regulate the balances of intracellular metal ions and the metallothionein gene regulation by some irons. Besides this, we also give some introductions about the induction by other factors in order to detect the distinction in biosynthesis of metallothionein by different factors.

Key words: metallothionein; metal induction; MRE
