Metallothionein proteins are highly conserved
low-molecular-weight cysteine-rich proteins that are induced by and
bind to heavy metal ions and have no enzymatic activity. They may
play a central role in the regulation of cell growth and
differentiation and are involved in spermatogenesis. This gene
encodes a metallothionein-like protein which has been shown to be
expressed differentially in mouse testis and ovary. Two transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Oh, J.H., et al. Mamm. Genome 16(12):942-954(2005)
