MT2A and infection: Here we have to make a special note about three genes, MT1F, MT1G and MT2A which, although not included in the 23 fingerprint genes, they are included in the list of induced 53 induced down-regulated DEGs in the early SCOV2 infection stage (notice also the down-regulation of the enriched ′Metallothioneins bind metals′ enriched REACTOME pathway induced by the enrichment/pathway analysis presented in the sequel; (Figure 4C).
