Summary: Enables zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including leptin-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and positive regulation of oxygen metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis and negative regulation of neurogenesis. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including decidua; ganglia; liver; ventral grey horn; and ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human MT3 (metallothionein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
