Structural features of metallothionein gene and protein. A: Clustal alignment of Ccl17 and metallothionein (MT) protein sequences. Amino acid similarity is set at 85% (gray). Identical amino acids are boxed. B: Mouse chromosome 8 showing expanded region from map position 43 to 47 shown on left. Homologous human genes and their chromosomal map positions are indicated on the right. Synteny map generated by the Mouse Genome Database [63].
