FOLH1 helps break down folate from food so it can be absorbed. This is different from the MTHFR step.
FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.
FOLR2 encodes folate receptor beta, a folate-binding protein expressed in particular cell types, including subsets of immune cells. It is distinct from the FOLR1 receptor and the SLC19A1 reduced folate carrier.
GAD1 helps your body make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.
GAD2 helps make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.
GCLC helps make glutathione, an antioxidant your body produces.
GCLM helps regulate one of the steps your body uses to make glutathione.
GDF5 encodes growth differentiation factor 5, a signaling protein involved in skeletal development, joint formation and cartilage biology. Its name does not mean a SNP measures the ability to build muscle.
GGH encodes gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, which removes glutamate residues from folate compounds. This affects folate handling and helps explain why folate metabolism includes retention and processing as well as intake.
GPX1 helps cells use glutathione to handle peroxides.
