MT1F
Description
The MT1F (metallothionein 1F) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
Metallothionein-1F is a protein found in humans that is encoded by the MT1F gene.
Metallothionein-1F, like other metallothioneins, contains a high amount of cysteine residues that bind to various heavy metals. This binding is regulated by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids, meaning the production of Metallothionein-1F is controlled by these factors.
MT1F is also known as MT1.
