MTF1 - metal regulatory transcription factor 1 Gene
Also Known as ZRF; MTF-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About MTF1
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues, 36 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 7.9), testis (RPKM 4.9) and 25 other tissues.
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).
