Superoxide defense in its own setting
Dr. Purser teaches SOD as one member of an antioxidant team. SOD3 works outside cells and uses copper and zinc. SOD converts superoxide into hydrogen peroxide, wh…
TCN2
Some search terms matchedTCN2 appears in Dr.
Also called: Transcobalamin II
B12 must be carried as well as consumed
TCN2 appears in Dr. Purser’s homocysteine and methylation map because it concerns the transport of B12. The teaching distinction is between eating or…
TNF
Some search terms matchedTNF encodes tumor necrosis factor, an immune-signaling protein involved in inflammation, host defense and regulation of cell survival. Its name should not be read as proof that a TNF result indicates cancer.
Also called: Tumor Necrosis Fact…
VDR
Some search terms matchedVDR encodes the vitamin D receptor, which helps regulate gene activity in response to active vitamin D. A receptor variant does not by itself mean receptors are absent or that the blood vitamin D level is low.
Also called: Vitamin D Recepto…
VKORC1
Some search terms matchedVKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor.
Also called: Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Complex Subunit 1
Recycling vitamin K a…

SLC19A1
Some search terms matchedEncodes the reduced folate carrier, a protein involved in transporting folates into cells.
Also called: RFC1, reduced folate carrier, folate transport
Folate transport is part of the story
Dr. Purser’s folate map includes transport as well …
ALPL
Some search terms matchedALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficienc…
CCL11
Some search terms matchedCCL11 encodes eotaxin-1, a chemokine best known for attracting eosinophils. Its receptor relationships connect it to allergic inflammation as well as broader research into immune signaling.
Also called:
Eotaxin-1 and eosinophil recruitment…
CCL2
Some search terms matchedCCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive.
Also called:
MCP-1: recruiting monocytes
CCL2 encodes M…
CCL3
Some search terms matchedCCL3 encodes MIP-1 alpha, a chemokine involved in attracting and activating immune cells. It is related to CCL4, or MIP-1 beta, but the two genes and proteins are distinct.
Also called:
MIP-1 alpha and the chemokine cluster
CCL3 encodes MI…
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.
