Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4502
Gene name Metallothionein 2A
Gene symbol MT2A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MT-2MT-IIMT2
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q13
Summary This gene is a member of the metallothionein family of genes. Proteins encoded by this gene family are low in molecular weight, are cysteine-rich, lack aromatic residues, and bind divalent heavy metal ions, altering the intracellular concentration of heav
