Summary

Gene Name	Mt2
Specie	Mus musculus
Full Name	metallothionein 2
Also known as	MT-II|Mt-2
Coordinate	chr8:94899246-94900195
Strand	+
Gene summary	Predicted to enable cadmium ion binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular zinc ion homeostasis; detoxification of copper ion; and nitric oxide mediated signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver lobe; lung; sensory organ; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid stenosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including MT1X (metallothionein 1X).
