Encodes an enzyme involved in fatty-acid metabolism.
Also called: Fatty Acid Desaturase 1 / D5D
The form of a fatty acid matters
Dr. Purser teaches FADS genes as a conversion pathway. FADS1 participates in a delta-5 desaturase step in fatty…
Dr.
Also called: Folate Hydrolase 1
Folate handling begins before remethylation
Dr. Purser’s genetic chapters include FOLH1 in folate handling. The earlier genetics reference explains its role in breaking down polyglutamated food folates in…
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…
Dr.
Also called: Glutamate Decarboxylase 1
The glutamate-to-GABA connection
Dr. Purser’s course uses GAD/GABA teaching to explain a connection between excitatory and inhibitory signaling. GAD1 encodes an enzyme involved in producing GABA fr…
Dr.
Also called: Glutathione Peroxidase 1
Glutathione has enzyme partners
Dr. Purser teaches the glutathione peroxidase family alongside selenium and antioxidant support. GPX1 helps illustrate cellular peroxide handling. These enzymes use g…
The practitioner course places GSTM1 in the glutathione transferase family.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Mu 1
Using glutathione in conjugation
The practitioner course places GSTM1 in the glutathione transferase family. These enzym…
GSTO1 belongs to the omega family of glutathione S-transferases. These enzymes participate in redox chemistry, with roles that differ from the better-known GSTM1 and GSTP1 pathways.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1
An omega-fa…
The practitioner course places GSTP1 in the glutathione transferase family.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Pi 1
Using glutathione in conjugation
The practitioner course places GSTP1 in the glutathione transferase family. These enzym…
The practitioner course places GSTT1 in the glutathione transferase family.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Theta 1, GSTT
Using glutathione in conjugation
The practitioner course places GSTT1 in the glutathione transferase family. Th…
Dr.
Also called: Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase 1
Folate has several working forms
Dr. Purser includes MTHFD1 among genes involved in folate interconversion. The lesson is that folate participates in several reactions and exists in…
The homocysteine chapters include MTHFD1L in the wider folate-related genetic map.
Also called: Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase 1-Like
A mitochondrial contribution to one-carbon metabolism
The homocysteine chapters include MTHFD1L i…
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…
Best match puts all-term matches before partial matches and related reading. Identical social posts and matching long titles across other sources are grouped when access is the same. Search covers published titles, descriptions, available article text, report overviews, and the full text of the nutrient, gene and learning-essential reference pages. Books, uploaded chapters and downloads-page reports are searchable through selected editorial guides and topic names; the original files and full book text are not published. Full Drive reports are not copied into search. Substack subscriber titles and public summaries are included; full subscriber content opens on Substack. Video transcripts are added when available.
