Analyze
Symbol: Mt2 (Ensembl: Mt2A)
Name: metallothionein 2 (Ensembl:metallothionein 2A)
RGD ID: 1592345
Description: Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to zinc ion and negative regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; kidney failure; median neuropathy; retinitis pigmentosa; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid stenosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including MT2A (metallothionein 2A); INTERACTS WITH 1,2-dimethylhydrazine; 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 17beta-estradiol.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: LOC689415; metallothionein 2A; metallothionein-2; metallothionein-II; MT-2; MT-II; Mt2A; similar to Metallothionein-2 (MT-2) (Metallothionein-II) (MT-II)
