Mt4

Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; detoxification of copper ion; and intracellular zinc ion homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human MT4 (metallothionein 4).

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 rat Mt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
