(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4520
Official gene symbolMTF1
Full namemetal-regulatory transcription factor 1
Aliases,MGC23036,MTF-1,ZRF,
Gene summaryThis 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). [provided by RefSeq]
