…can limit inflammatory responses and help prevent excessive immune-mediated tissue damage. Immune balance includes resolving a response as well as starting one. Also called: The immune system also needs a brake IL10 encodes interleukin-10,…

…d by IL-12 and IL-23. This makes it an intersection between immune pathways rather than a stand-alone measure of one cytokine. Also called: A shared component of two cytokines IL12B encodes the p40 subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23. This m…

IL13 encodes interleukin-13, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses, mucus-related processes and tissue remodeling. It overlaps with some IL-4 functions but is not the same signal. Also called: Allergic signaling and tissue responses …

…encodes a cytokine involved in the survival and activity of immune cells, including natural killer cells and memory CD8 T cells. Its receptor system includes IL15RA. Also called: Supporting immune-cell survival IL15 encodes a cytokine invo…

…r component for IL-15. It helps present IL-15 to responding immune cells, supporting communication that is important for particular lymphocyte populations. Also called: Presenting IL-15 to responding cells IL15RA encodes the alpha receptor…

…t can promote interferon-gamma responses in the appropriate immune context. Its receptor includes components encoded by IL18R1 and IL18RAP. Also called: An inflammatory signal that connects to interferon gamma IL18 encodes interleukin-18, …

…interleukin-2 receptor, also called CD25. It is involved in immune activation and regulatory T-cell biology; a soluble receptor measurement is distinct from a DNA result. Also called: CD25 and immune-cell activation IL2RA encodes the alpha…

…n act as an alarmin during tissue stress and promote type 2 immune responses. It belongs in a different functional group from chemokines that recruit cells. Also called: An alarmin in allergic signaling IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signa…

IL4 encodes interleukin-4, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses and antibody class switching, including pathways related to IgE. It operates alongside IL-5 and IL-13 rather than representing all allergic biology by itself. Also calle…

…on pathway Why this matters Follow the sulfur pathway from homocysteine toward cysteine and glutathione. How the pieces connect Cysteine, glutathione, oxidative stress, and energy pathways connect to this discussion. A pathway map can gui…

Explore Dr. Purser’s connection between methylation and purine pathways.

Homocysteine rarely gets the attention of cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure. It should. When homocysteine becomes elevated, it has been associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, blood clots, and other he
