GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

MTF1

Description

metal-regulatory transcription factor 1

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Transcription factors

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a transcription factor that induces expression of metallothioneins and other genes involved in metal homeostasis in response to heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc, copper, and silver. The protein is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that accumulates in the nucleus upon heavy metal exposure and binds to promoters containing a metal-responsive element (MRE).
