What’s searchable?IL23R encodes part of the receptor that receives IL-23 signals. This connects the gene to the maintenance of Th17-related immune responses, which differ from the Th2 patterns discussed in allergy. Also called: IL-23R, Interleukin 23 Recepto…
IL6 encodes interleukin-6, a cytokine involved in immune responses and acute-phase signaling. It can appear in discussions of infection, chronic inflammation and metabolic health, with effects that depend on the context. Also called: IL-6, …
MAOA helps break down some chemical messengers. A gene result cannot predict a mood or behavior. Also called: MAO-A, Monoamine Oxidase A Neurotransmitter breakdown in context Dr. Purser places MAOA in the neurotransmitter-breakdown part of …
Makes the methionine synthase enzyme, which uses vitamin B12 in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Also called: Methionine Synthase The B12-dependent step In Dr. Purser’s teaching map, MTR is the B12-dependent step that converts …
NAT2 encodes N-acetyltransferase 2, which helps process certain drugs and other compounds. Combinations of variants can influence acetylation status; one SNP usually does not tell the entire story. Also called: N-Acetyltransferase 2 Acetyla…
NR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps tissues respond to cortisol and glucocorticoid medicines. Receptor genetics and measured cortisol levels answer different questions. Also called: Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Me…
NTRK2 encodes TrkB, a receptor involved in responding to neurotrophic signals such as BDNF. These signals support nervous-system function and plasticity. NTRK2 is not a phosphatidylserine absorption transporter. Also called: Neurotrophic Re…
Makes an enzyme involved in producing phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes. Genetic findings alone do not establish a choline deficiency. Also called: Phosphatidylethanolamine N-Methyltransferase, choline, phosphatidylcholine …
PON1 is discussed in relation to how the body handles some compounds and protects certain fats. Also called: Paraoxonase 1 A different part of antioxidant handling PON1 appears in Dr. Purser’s redox and conversion teaching alongside GST and…
PTGS2, commonly called COX-2, encodes an enzyme involved in prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins participate in pain, fever and inflammatory signaling. Also called: COX2, Cyclooxygenase 2 COX-2 and inflammatory prostaglandins PTGS2, com…
TCN2 helps carry vitamin B12 in the body. A gene result alone cannot tell you your B12 status. Also called: Transcobalamin II B12 must be carried as well as consumed TCN2 appears in Dr. Purser’s homocysteine and methylation map because it c…
