RT   "Accumulation of zinc, copper and metallothionein mRNA in lizard ovary
RT   proceeds without a concomitant increase in metallothionein content.";
RL   Mol. Reprod. Dev. 66:374-382(2003).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues
CC       that bind various heavy metals. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: Class I metallothioneins contain 2 metal-binding domains: four
CC       divalent ions are chelated within cluster A of the alpha domain and are
CC       coordinated via cysteinyl thiolate bridges to 11 cysteine ligands.
CC       Cluster B, the corresponding region within the beta domain, can ligate
CC       three divalent ions to 9 cysteines.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the metallothionein superfamily. Type 1 family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
