Summary: This gene encodes a member of the metallothionein superfamily, type 1 family. Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues that bind various heavy metals. These genes are transcriptionally regulated by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Title: Metallothionein MT1M Suppresses Carcinogenesis of Esophageal Carcinoma Cells through Inhibition of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and the SOD1/PI3K Axis.
MT1M can suppress hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and induce apoptosis through downregulating Bcl-2, upregulating Bax, and enhancing Caspase-3 activity.
Title: The effect and mechanism of metallothionein MT1M on hepatocellular carcinoma cell.
In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) MT1E, MT1G and MT1M expression was higher than that noted in other histological tumor subtypes (all P<0.0500). In addition, some associations were observed between metabolic syndromerelated clinical parameters and promoter methylation or gene expression
Title: DNA methylation of metallothionein genes is associated with the clinical features of renal cell carcinoma.
MiR-545-3p, which served as a tumor promoter, post-transcriptionally regulate MT1M in HCC through binding to its untranslated region (3'UTR).
Title: MiR-545-3p/MT1M axis regulates cell proliferation, invasion and migration in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Results found that MT1M is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors, and it suppressed HCC tumorigenesis possibly by inducing cell cycle arrest, enhancing apoptosis and inhibiting cell migration and invasion. These findings provide evidence that MT1M might be a tumor suppressor in HCC tumorigenesis.

Low MT1M expression is associated with poor hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis following curative resection.

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.
