What’s searchable?TNF encodes tumor necrosis factor, an immune-signaling protein involved in inflammation, host defense and regulation of cell survival. Its name should not be read as proof that a TNF result indicates cancer. Also called: Tumor Necrosis Fact…
VKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor. Also called: Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Complex Subunit 1 Recycling vitamin K a…
How the Purser approach moves from a nutrient finding to priorities, a manageable plan and reassessment. Also called: From a laboratory flag to a useful plan Start with your original CMA report: check its date, values, and the lab’s catego…
Follow Dr. Purser’s teaching on folate, B12, sulfur pathways and antioxidant support around homocysteine. Also called: Follow the branches around homocysteine Homocysteine sits at a junction in the pathway. Dr. Purser’s teaching follows ho…
Separate the gene, variant, measured value and clinical interpretation—and learn which questions to bring to your visit. Also called: Keep the original result in view Start with your original report: check the date, units, the lab’s range,…
Encodes the reduced folate carrier, a protein involved in transporting folates into cells. Also called: RFC1, reduced folate carrier, folate transport Folate transport is part of the story Dr. Purser’s folate map includes transport as well …
ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficienc…
CCL11 encodes eotaxin-1, a chemokine best known for attracting eosinophils. Its receptor relationships connect it to allergic inflammation as well as broader research into immune signaling. Also called: Eotaxin-1 and eosinophil recruitment…
CCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive. Also called: MCP-1: recruiting monocytes CCL2 encodes M…
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…
CCL4 encodes MIP-1 beta, a chemokine involved in attracting immune cells. It participates in a recruitment network that includes CCL2, CXCL8 and related chemokines. Also called: MIP-1 beta and overlapping recruitment signals CCL4 encodes M…
CCL5, also called RANTES, is a chemokine that helps direct immune-cell movement. Chemokines tell cells where to go, which is different from measuring the total strength of an immune response. Also called: RANTES and immune-cell recruitment…
