What’s searchable?Supports vision, immune function and tissue development. Also called: Vitamin A What it does Supports vision, immune function and tissue development. Possible deficiency symptoms Deficiency can cause night blindness and eye-surface damage. …
Supports enzymes, immune function, wound healing and taste. Also called: Zinc Read zinc together with copper Zinc connects with immune function, hormones, copper handling and antioxidant enzymes. A plan for zinc should also account for othe…
FOLR2 encodes folate receptor beta, a folate-binding protein expressed in particular cell types, including subsets of immune cells. It is distinct from the FOLR1 receptor and the SLC19A1 reduced folate carrier. Also called: Folate Receptor …
HLA-DQA2 is part of the HLA class II region involved in immune recognition. It should not be treated as interchangeable with HLA-DQA1 or as a measurement of how well the immune system fights infections. Also called: HLADQA2, Human Leukocyte…
IL21 encodes a cytokine involved in regulating lymphocytes, including B-cell responses. It sits within an immune network that connects T-cell help, antibody responses and inflammatory activity. Also called: IL-21, Interleukin 21 A link betw…
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…
CCL3 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…
IL13 encodes interleukin-13, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses, mucus-related processes and tissue remodeling. It overlaps with some IL-4 functions but is not the same signal.
IL15RA encodes the alpha receptor component for IL-15. It helps present IL-15 to responding immune cells, supporting communication that is important for particular lymphocyte populations.
IL16 encodes interleukin-16, a cytokine involved in attracting and influencing immune cells, including CD4-expressing cells. Its recruitment role helps separate it from other numbered interleukins. Also called: A cytokine involved in immun…
IL17A encodes interleukin-17A, a cytokine involved in defense at tissue barriers and inflammatory signaling. It belongs to the Th17 pathway, which is supported by signals including IL-23. Also called: Th17 signaling and persistent inflamma…
About search coverage
Search looks for your words in titles, descriptions, available articles, learning guides, and video captions when available. The closest matches appear first. Duplicate posts are grouped, with links to other places you can read or watch them. Books, chapters, and reports have topic guides here; the original files and full book text are not available in this encyclopedia. Subscriber posts include a title and public summary; open Substack to read the full post.
