Let’s explore “Cytokine panel vocabulary”

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine.

The genetic-architecture chapter explains that S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) donates methyl groups and becomes S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH).

Encodes diamine oxidase, an enzyme involved in breaking down histamine and other amines. DAO is used here as an enzyme nickname; it is also the official symbol of a different gene.

ATG16L1 is involved in autophagy, a process that helps cells recycle parts.

BHMT helps recycle homocysteine into methionine using betaine. It is a different route from the folate and B12 pathway.

CBS helps move homocysteine into the pathway that supplies building blocks for glutathione.

CHDH helps convert choline toward betaine, a nutrient involved in the homocysteine pathway.

Makes an enzyme that helps break down catechol compounds, including some neurotransmitters. A common variant does not by itself explain mood, attention or stress tolerance.

CTH helps make cysteine, one of the building blocks your body uses to make glutathione.

The older Purser genetics reference uses the heading “DAOA (AOC1)” in its gut section.

Encodes an enzyme involved in fatty-acid metabolism.

Encodes an enzyme involved in fatty-acid metabolism.
