What’s searchable?ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood. Also called: Estrogen Receptor 1 Estrogen signaling depends on the receptor ESR1 enc…
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. Also cal…
NR3C2 encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor, which responds to hormones such as aldosterone and helps regulate salt and fluid balance. It is distinct from the NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor. Also called: Mineralocorticoid Receptor / Nuclear…
TNFRSF10A encodes death receptor 4, or DR4, a receptor that can receive the TRAIL signal and participate in regulated cell-death pathways. TRAIL itself is encoded by TNFSF10. Also called: DR4 receives the TRAIL signal TNFRSF10A encodes dea…

Explore interleukin-1 alpha, alarmins, epithelial tissues, cellular injury, and its comparison with IL-1 beta.
Explore sIL2R, sCD25, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, T-cell activation, and sarcoidosis. Understand the connection Soluble IL-2 receptor, or sIL2R, is a released part of the CD25 receptor and is also called sCD25. Its level can reflect T-…
Omega-3 contain PUFAs (at least the better ones do). If you have an Omega-3, or any omega, deficiency, it will causes disruption of the insulin recceptor function and again its transport of glucose into the cell. This causes diabetes. The
