CUP1-2/YHR055C Protein Information Help

Standard Name Cup1-2p
Systematic Name Yhr055cp
Alias Cup1p
ORF Classification Verified
Description Metallothionein; binds copper and mediates resistance to high concentrations of copper and cadmium; locus is variably amplified in different strains, with two copies, CUP1-1 and CUP1-2, in the genomic sequence reference strain S288C; CUP1-2 has a paralog, CUP1-1, that arose from a segmental duplication (1, 2, 3)
