The MT1G (metallothionein 1G) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
Metallothionein-1G is a protein in humans encoded by the MT1G gene.
Metallothionein-1G binds to various heavy metals, like zinc and cadmium, via its cysteine residues. The gene encoding this protein is regulated by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids.
