Description
Product Characteristics: Metal regulatory transcription factor 1, Metal response element binding transcription factor 1, Metal responsive transcription factor 1, MRE-binding transcription factor 1, MTF1, Transcription factor MTF1, Zinc regulatory factor (ZRF),MTF1
Cellular localisation: Nucleus.
Target Information: This gene encodes a transcription factor that induces expression of metallothioneins and other genes involved in metal homeostasis in response to heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc, copper, and silver. The protein is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that accumulates in the nucleus upon heavy metal exposure and binds to promoters containing a metal-responsive element (MRE).
