[C.elegansII] NMK. Encodes 75 aa metallothionein; accumulates after exposure to CdCl2. mtl-1:lacZ expressed constitutively in pharynx, and in intestine after cadmium treatment or heat shock; response lower in adult. [Freedman et al. 1993]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
