ATG16L1 is involved in autophagy, a process that helps cells recycle parts. Also called: Autophagy-Related 16-Like 1 Cellular recycling meets gut immunity ATG16L1 is involved in autophagy, a process that helps cells recycle parts. It is stu…

BCO1, also called BCMO1, helps convert beta-carotene from plant foods into retinal, a form used in vitamin A metabolism. Plant carotenoids and preformed vitamin A therefore enter the pathway at different points. Also called: BCMO1, Beta-Car…

BRCA1 helps repair damaged DNA. Clinically classified pathogenic variants can affect inherited cancer risk; a common SNP or a variant of uncertain significance is a different finding. Also called: Breast Cancer 1 DNA repair and inherited ca…
