Gene Information

human ... MTF1(4520)

General description

Metal-response element-binding transcription factor 1 (MTF1) is a cellular zinc sensor that is involved in zinc homeostasis. MTF1 is also known to protect against oxidative stress and metal toxicity. Furthermore, MTF1 can modulate metallothionein gene expression.
Rabbit Anti-MTF1 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, bovine, and canine MTF1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human MTF1

Application

Rabbit Anti-MTF1 antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 5.0μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The zinc finger transcription factor MTF-1 (metal-responsive transcription factor-1) is conserved from insects to vertebrates. The major role of MTF-1 in both organisms is to control the transcription of genes involved in the homeostasis and detoxification of heavy metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+. In mammals, MTF-1 serves at least two additional roles. First, targeted disruption of the MTF-1 gene results in death at embryonic day 14 due to liver degeneration, revealing a stage-specific developmental role. Second, under hypoxic-anoxic stress, MTF-1 helps to activate the transcription of the gene placental growth factor (PIGF), an angiogenic protein.

Zinc metabolism in higher eukaryotes is complex, being controlled by uptake, efflux, and storage in individual cells, as well as in peripheral tissues and organs. Recently there have been advances in the understanding of the genes involved in these processes

We have described and cloned previously a factor (MTF-1) that binds specifically to heavy metal-responsive DNA sequence elements in the enhancer/promoter region of metallothionein genes. MTF-1 is a protein of 72.5 kDa that contains six zinc fingers and multiple domains
