Differential expression of metallothionein isoforms in terrestrial snail embryos reflects early life stage adaptation to metal stress.

Differential expression of metallothionein isoforms in terrestrial snail embryos reflects early life stage adaptation to metal stress.

The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of three metallothionein (MT) isoform genes (CdMT, CuMT and Cd/CuMT), already known from adults, in the Early Life Stage (ELS) of Cantareus aspersus. This was accomplished by detection of the MT isoform-specific transcription adopting Polymerase Ch...
