| Systematic Name | YGL166W |
| Alias | ACE1 2 , 3 |
| Feature Type | ORF, Verified |
| Description | Copper-binding transcription factor; activates transcription of the metallothionein genes CUP1-1 and CUP1-2 in response to elevated copper concentrations; CUP2 has a paralog, HAA1, that arose from the whole genome duplication (3, 4, 5) |
