Abstract
There are reasons to suggest metallothionein might act as a transient intracellular iron transport agent. Rabbit kidney metallothionein was isolated from animals treated with Cd in order to induce metallothionein synthesis. Attempts were made to form the iron-protein complex via several reaction routes. There was no evidence for complex formation. Metallothionein also failed to mobilize iron from ghosts of rabbit reticulocytes specifically labeled with 59Fe.
