- Description
- Predicted to have metal ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis; positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production; and response to copper ion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid stenosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; vein; and yolk. Orthologous to human MT2A (metallothionein 2A).
