Vectors for Human MT1A

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol MT1A
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name metallothionein 1A
  • Other Aliases MT-1A; MT-IA; MT1; MT1S; MTC
  • Other Desigations metallothionein-1A; metallothionein 1A (functional); metallothionein 1S; metallothionein-IA
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • 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. The conserved cysteine residues co-ordinate metal ions using mercaptide linkages. These proteins act as anti-oxidants, protect against hydroxyl free radicals, are important in homeostatic control of metal in the cell, and play a role in detoxification of heavy metals. Disruption of two metallothionein genes in mouse resulted in defects in protection against heavy metals, oxidative stress, immune reactions, carcinogens, and displayed obesity.
