About Mt2

Summary

Predicted to enable cadmium ion binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular zinc ion homeostasis; detoxification of copper ion; and nitric oxide mediated signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver lobe; lung; sensory organ; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid stenosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including MT1X (metallothionein 1X).
