Vectors for Human MT3

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol MT3
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name metallothionein 3
  • Other Aliases GIF; GIFB; GRIF; ZnMT3
  • Other Desigations metallothionein-3; growth inhibitory factor; metallothionein 3 (growth inhibitory factor (neurotrophic)); metallothionein-III
  • 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. 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. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017] Annotation information: Note: GIF (Gene ID: 2694) and MT3 (Gene ID: 4504) share the GIF symbol/alias in common. GIF is a widely used alternative name for metallothionein 3 (MT3), which can be confused with the official symbol for GIF (gastric intrinsic factor, GeneID 2694). [01 Jun 2018]
