Genomic organization of rat MT1 and MT2. Schematic representation of rat MT1 (a) and MT2 (b) gene structures. cDNA sequences are mapped on rat genome version 3.4. The rat MT1 gene is located at 16q11 on rat chromosome 16, and consists of two exons. On the other hand, rat MT2 gene lies at 8q12 on rat chromosome 8, and consists of three exons. The white and gray boxes indicate the UTRs and ORFs, respectively. The arrows indicate the orientation of the chromosomes. The images are not to scale
