What’s searchable?IL18 encodes interleukin-18, a cytokine that 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 int…
IL18R1 encodes a component of the receptor for IL-18. It works with an accessory component, IL18RAP, to support IL-18 signaling. Also called: The binding side of the IL-18 receptor IL18R1 encodes a component of the receptor for IL-18. It w…
IL18RAP encodes an accessory protein in the IL-18 receptor complex. The receptor needs coordinated components to translate an extracellular signal into a cellular response. Also called: The accessory component of IL-18 signaling IL18RAP en…
IL1B encodes interleukin-1 beta, a cytokine involved in inflammatory responses and fever. Its production and activation are regulated processes, not simply an on/off consequence of having a common SNP. Also called: IL-1β and the early infl…
IL22 encodes a cytokine that acts on tissues such as epithelial barriers. It can support barrier defense and repair, while its effects depend on the tissue and inflammatory setting. Also called: Barrier defense, repair and excess tissue gr…
IL23A encodes the p19 subunit of interleukin-23. Together with the p40 subunit encoded by IL12B, it forms a cytokine involved in supporting Th17 responses. Also called: The p19 component of IL-23 IL23A encodes the p19 subunit of interleuki…
IL2RA encodes the alpha chain of the 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-ce…
IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signal that can 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 s…
IL5 encodes interleukin-5, a cytokine important to eosinophil growth, survival and activation. Eosinophils are involved in selected allergic and other inflammatory conditions. Also called: An eosinophil-focused cytokine IL5 encodes interle…
IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample. Also called: Receiving and relaying the IL-6 signal IL6…
MTHFS encodes an enzyme that converts 5-formyltetrahydrofolate into 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. This places it in folate interconversion; it is not another name for MTHFR or a direct maker of methylfolate. Also called: Folinic acid has …
RAD50 encodes a DNA-repair protein. The surrounding genomic region also contains regulatory elements relevant to the nearby IL4, IL5 and IL13 cluster, so a locus association can concern more than the coding function of one gene. Also called…
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.
