Description

The MT1M (metallothionein 1M) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

Metallothionein-1M is a protein encoded by the MT1M gene in humans.

Metallothionein-1M (MT1M) binds various heavy metals due to its high cysteine residue content. The expression of MT1M is regulated by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids.

MT1M is also known as MT-1M, MT-IM, MT1, MT1K.
