Only the features of vanadium biochemistry relevant to understanding the accumulation mechanism in vanadocytes are presented here. More extensive coverage of this subject may be found in two recent reviews51 525.

High concentration of vanadium in the blood of some tunicates has been a long-standing problem of biochemistry. That vanadium(III) ions are part of the respiratory pigment has been ruled out recently. The efficient mechanism used to concentrate vanadium from sea water is now understood but the utility of vanadium for these living organisms is still an intriguing question.

Vanadium and chromium appear to be essential elements, while this claim has also been made recently for tin (N. F. Cardarelli, Tin as a Vital Nutrient Implications in Cancer Prophylaxis and other Physiological Processes , CRC Press, Fort Lauderdale, 1985).
