C3 is the gene symbol used for Complement C3. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

CCR3 is the gene symbol used for C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 3. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

Encodes cubilin, part of a receptor system involved in uptake of the intrinsic-factor–B12 complex.

Refers to part of the HLA immune-recognition region, rather than one gene. HLA typing requires more detail than a broad region label.

High Homocysteine Levels and Inflammation: What You Need to Know High homocysteine levels are a common issue, often linked to genetics. There are seven gene variants (like MTHFR, CBS, and others) that can make it tough to bring those level

One member of the vitamin E family; it is distinct from alpha-tocopherol, the form used to establish vitamin E requirements.

A cofactor involved in mitochondrial enzyme reactions, also sold as alpha-lipoic acid.

Helps several enzymes, including a mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme, function.

A compound formed from precursors in cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli.

…duces hydrogen peroxide, which is handled by other systems, including catalase and glutathione peroxidases. That sequence makes the three-part teaching more informative than a generic “antioxidant” label. How Dr. Purser connects the pieces …

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine.

The Purser genetics reference places CHDH in choline metabolism, while the combined SOP asks clinicians to consider CHDH alongside PEMT and FADS findings.
