SOD1 helps convert superoxide inside cells as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses.

SOD2 works in mitochondria as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses.

SOD3 works outside cells as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses.

TCN2 helps carry vitamin B12 in the body. A gene result alone cannot tell you your B12 status.

Understand why Dr. Purser teaches glutathione, SOD and catalase as a connected antioxidant team.

Encodes the reduced folate carrier, a protein involved in transporting folates into cells.

CCL3 encodes MIP-1 alpha, a chemokine involved in attracting and activating immune cells. It is related to CCL4, or MIP-1 beta, but the two genes and proteins are distinct.

CCL4 encodes MIP-1 beta, a chemokine involved in attracting immune cells. It participates in a recruitment network that includes CCL2, CXCL8 and related chemokines.

CD40 encodes a receptor that participates in communication between immune cells, including T-cell help for B-cell responses. Its partner is CD40 ligand, encoded by CD40LG.

CD40LG encodes CD40 ligand, which binds CD40 and supports communication needed for effective antibody responses. It is on the X chromosome, which changes how some genetic results must be interpreted.

CETP transfers cholesteryl esters between lipoprotein particles. This helps explain why the balance of HDL and other lipid particles is more complex than a single cholesterol number.

CXCR5 encodes the receptor for CXCL13. This receptor helps guide B cells and certain T cells toward locations where organized immune responses develop.
