MT1E


Description

The MT1E (metallothionein 1E) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

Metallothionein-1E is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MT1E gene.

Metallothionein-1E (MT1E) is a protein that binds various heavy metals through its high cysteine residue content. Its expression is controlled by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids, meaning its levels can be adjusted based on the presence of these substances.

MT1E is also known as MT-1E, MT-IE, MT1, MTD.
