Gene family: metallothioneins; (@MLT1 MLT2P MLTL1 MLTL2 MLTL3 MLTL4)
|
SUM |
The metallothioneins are small cysteine-rich proteins that bind heavy metal ions such as zinc, cadmium, and copper with high affinity, and have been functionally implicated in heavy metal detoxification and radical scavenging." |
|
EXP |
Transcription of metallothionein genes is induced by exposure of cells to heavy metals. This induction is mediated by metal-responsive promoter elements (MREs) which bind MRE transcription factor (GEM:01p3/MTF1)." |
