Gene information for MTL5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9633
Official gene symbolMTL5
Full namemetallothionein-like 5, testis-specific (tesmin)
Aliases,CXCDC2,MTLT,TESMIN,
Gene summaryMetallothionein proteins are highly conserved low-molecular-weight cysteine-rich proteins that are induced by and bind to heavy metal ions and have no enzymatic activity. They may play a central role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation and are involved in spermatogenesis. This gene encodes a metallothionein-like protein which has been shown to be expressed differentially in mouse testis and ovary. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
