## Abstract The present article reports on the characterization of the urochordate metallothionein (MT) gene, __CiMTβ1__, from the solitary ascidian __Ciona intestinalis__. The predicted protein is shorter than other known deuterostome MTs, having only 39 amino acids. The gene has the same triparti
The ascidian Ciona intestinalis is one of the model organisms of choice for comparative investigations of chordate development and for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying morphogenesis and cell fate specification. Taking advantage of the availability of various genetically encoded fluores
## Abstract Ammonium uptake into the cell is known to be mediated by ammonium transport (Amt) proteins, which are present in all domains of life. The physiological role of Amt proteins remains elusive; indeed, lossβofβfunction experiments suggested that Amt proteins do not play an essential role in
