Let’s explore “TNF-alpha”

Explore macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, CCR1, CCR5, and the recruitment of myeloid cells and lymphocytes.

Explore the p19 and p40 subunits, interleukin-23, and the difference between the IL23A gene and the IL23R receptor.

Dupilumab, sold as Dupixent, is a prescribed antibody medicine that acts on IL-4 receptor alpha.

One member of the vitamin E family; it is distinct from alpha-tocopherol, the form used to establish vitamin E requirements.

A cofactor involved in mitochondrial enzyme reactions, also sold as alpha-lipoic acid.

ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood.

FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.

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.

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.
