Summary

MTF1 (metal regulatory transcription factor 1, HGNC:7428) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.3, encoding Metal regulatory transcription factor 1 (Q14872). Zinc-dependent transcriptional regulator of cellular adaption to conditions of exposure to heavy metals. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 10.6% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a transcription factor that induces expression of metallothioneins and other genes involved in metal homeostasis in response to heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc, copper, and silver. The protein is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that accumulates in the nucleus upon heavy metal exposure and binds to promoters containing a metal-responsive element (MRE).

Function. Zinc-dependent transcriptional regulator of cellular adaption to conditions of exposure to heavy metals. Binds to metal responsive elements (MRE) in promoters and activates the transcription of metallothionein genes like metallothionein-2/MT2A. Also regulates the expression of metalloproteases in response to intracellular zinc and functions as a catabolic regulator of cartilages.
