Physicochemical and metabolic properties of modified metallothioneins.

Attempts to crosslink metallothionein through lysine residues have resulted in trapping of octameric structures. Two such polymers have been characterized. They are of a critical size for glomerular filtration, and unique tissue distributions of cadmium arise when they are injected into rats.
