MTL5 (Tesmin, Metallothionein-like 5, Testis-specific, Testis-specific Metallothionein-like Protein) (APC)

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. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence and Western Blot. Other applications not...
