CD14 helps immune cells recognize microbial components, including bacterial lipopolysaccharide, as part of innate immune signaling. This places it upstream of some cytokine responses. Also called: Cluster of Differentiation 14 How immune ce…
…ed in the homocysteine pathway. Also called: Choline Dehydrogenase Choline can serve more than one purpose CHDH helps convert choline toward betaine, while PEMT helps make phosphatidylcholine. Both involve choline but do different jobs. A n…
COL5A1 encodes one component of type V collagen, which helps organize collagen fibers. It connects to the strength and structure of tendons, skin and other connective tissues. Also called: Collagen Type V Alpha 1 Chain Collagen structure, t…
…an enzyme that helps break down catechol compounds, including some neurotransmitters. A common variant does not by itself explain mood, attention or stress tolerance. Also called: Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Catecholamines and sensitivity …
CTH helps make cysteine, one of the building blocks your body uses to make glutathione. Also called: Cystathionine Gamma-Lyase From homocysteine toward glutathione Dr. Purser places CTH in the sulfur-handling pathway that connects homocyste…
…rt into cells. Also called: Dihydrofolate Reductase Recycling folate into usable cellular forms DHFR helps reduce folic acid and dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate-related forms used in cellular metabolism. This is one part of the folate sys…
ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood. Also called: Estrogen Receptor 1 Estrogen signaling depends on the receptor ESR1 enc…
…5D The form of a fatty acid matters Dr. Purser teaches FADS genes as a conversion pathway. FADS1 participates in a delta-5 desaturase step in fatty-acid metabolism. This is why plant-based precursor fats and preformed long-chain omega-3s sh…
…e MTHFR step. Also called: Folate Hydrolase 1 Folate handling begins before remethylation Dr. Purser’s genetic chapters include FOLH1 in folate handling. The earlier genetics reference explains its role in breaking down polyglutamated food …
…nsport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements. Also called: Folate Receptor 1 Folate transport has tissue-specific roles FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which …
FTO is studied in relation to body weight and energy balance. Common variants can contribute to population-level differences in obesity susceptibility, alongside many other genes and environmental factors. Also called: Fat Mass and Obesity-…
