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; CUP1-1 has a paralog, CUP1-2, that arose from a segmental duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001095]
CUP1
Chromosome VIII: 212,535-212,720 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006934.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 1 paralogue.
