Gene data
MTF1- Name
- metal regulatory transcription factor 1
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- MTF-1, ZRF
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).
