What’s searchable?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…
IL4 encodes interleukin-4, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses and antibody class switching, including pathways related to IgE. It operates alongside IL-5 and IL-13 rather than representing all allergic biology by itself. Also calle…
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 …
TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis. Also called: Repai…
TNFRSF10A encodes death receptor 4, or DR4, a receptor that can receive the TRAIL signal and participate in regulated cell-death pathways. TRAIL itself is encoded by TNFSF10. Also called: DR4 receives the TRAIL signal TNFRSF10A encodes dea…
ACE is the gene symbol used for Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library. Also called: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Start here ACE is the gene symbol used for…
ACTN3 is the gene symbol used for Alpha-Actinin-3. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library. Also called: Alpha-Actinin-3 Start here ACTN3 is the gene symbol used for Alpha-Actinin-3. This p…
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.
