abbr. MT-3. This protein is a member of a family of metal-binding proteins (see: metallothioneins). Metallothionein-2, called also GIFB [growth inhibitory factor brain] (Uchida et al, 1991; Kobayashi et al, 1993) or GRIF [neuronal growth inhibition factor], is found in normal human brain tissue and is expressed exclusively in the nervous system (astrocytes in gray matter). GIF is not expressed in fetal brain (Tsuji et al, 1992). In older references the factor is being referred to also simply as growth inhibition factor (abbr. GIF, a term that has multiple meanings).
