CC   -!- FUNCTION: The metallothioneins are involved in the cellular
CC       sequestration of toxic metal ions.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: By cadmium, and to a lesser extent by mercury, copper, heat,
CC       hydrogen peroxide and IL-6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11891286,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:15305793}.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=16763; Method=MALDI;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15305793};
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the metallothionein superfamily. Type 7 family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
