MT1B

The protein encoded by this gene binds heavy metals and protects against toxicity from heavy metal ions. This gene is found in a cluster of similar genes on chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human MT1B often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
