Description |
metallothionein 3 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis and negative regulation of neurogenesis. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; decidua; dorsal root ganglion; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human MT3 (metallothionein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025] |
