Let’s explore “Immunoglobulin G — lab reference”

NQO1 is the gene symbol used for NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 1. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library. Also called: NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Quinone handling within the redox n…

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…

… 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 Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 2 Minera…

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 …

…alled: Paraoxonase 1 A different part of antioxidant handling PON1 appears in Dr. Purser’s redox and conversion teaching alongside GST and NQO1. The genetics reference discusses it in relation to handling particular compounds and protecting…

PSEN1 encodes a presenilin protein that participates in gamma-secretase, a protein-processing complex. Some pathogenic variants can cause familial Alzheimer’s disease; a listed common marker is not equivalent to that diagnosis. Also called:…

PSEN2 encodes a presenilin protein that participates in gamma-secretase, a protein-processing complex. Some pathogenic variants can cause familial Alzheimer’s disease; a listed common marker is not equivalent to that diagnosis. Also called:…

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…

SERPINE1 encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, or PAI-1, which helps regulate fibrinolysis: the process that breaks down clots. The source label PAI4G refers to this pathway rather than a separate gene. Also called: PAI-1, PAI4G, Plasm…

…ate-interconversion network. Its enzyme connects serine and glycine metabolism with one-carbon units used by folate pathways. This is one reason Dr. Purser teaches nutrients and genes together instead of treating a folate result as an isola…

… Superoxide Dismutase 1 Superoxide defense in its own setting Dr. Purser teaches SOD as one member of an antioxidant team. SOD1 works primarily inside cells and uses copper and zinc. SOD converts superoxide into hydrogen peroxide, which exp…
