About MT3

Cytogenetic location: 16q13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:56,589,528-56,591,085 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 188 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 149.3) and adrenal (RPKM 10.1).

Summary

This gene is a member of the metallothionein family of genes. Proteins encoded by this gene family are low in molecular weight, are cysteine-rich, lack aromatic residues, and bind divalent heavy metal ions. This gene family member displays tissue-specific expression, and contains a threonine insert near its N-terminus and a glutamate-rich hexapeptide insert near its C-terminus relative to the proteins encoded by Other gene family members. It plays an important role in zinc and copper homeostasis, and is induced under hypoxic conditions. The encoded protein is a growth inhibitory factor, and reduced levels of the protein are observed in the brains of individuals with some metal-linked neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
