- Description
- Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within 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. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; vein; and yolk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid stenosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MT2A (metallothionein 2A).
