Abstract: Metallothionein(MT) is a class of proteins that are commonly found in organisms with small molecular weight, rich in cysteine, which can bind to metals and have multiple isomers. The research progress of MT was summarized, including the physical and chemical properties; The physiological function, the development and utilization of MT of the marine organism was mainly introduced. The prospects of the research field were also presented.

Key words: metallothionein, marine organism, physiologic function, development and utilization
