Gene: [MLT1/16q13] metallothioneins, gene cluster in chr 16q13; (MLT1A MLT1B MLT1CP MLT1DP MLT1E MLT1F MLT1G MLT1H MLT1I MLT1J MLT1K MLT1L MLT1X MLT2A MLT3)

COM

The GDB/HGMWorkshop's gene symbols are started with the letters 'MT' for all metallothionein genes; the same case has place for all mitochondrial genes. To separate these two large gene groups in a general list of all mapped human genes, HUGEN replaces 'MT..' by 'MLT..' for all metallothionein genes; also FAM:MLT/00.0."

FAG

Four other metallothionein-like sequences (genes and pseudogenes) exist: two in chr 1 and one in each chrs 18 and 20; a pseudogene (MLT2P) is located in chr 4q. See FAM:MLT/00.0."

REL
