What’s searchable?IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample. Also called: Receiving and relaying the IL-6 signal IL6…
MTHFS encodes an enzyme that converts 5-formyltetrahydrofolate into 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. This places it in folate interconversion; it is not another name for MTHFR or a direct maker of methylfolate. Also called: Folinic acid has …
RAD50 encodes a DNA-repair protein. The surrounding genomic region also contains regulatory elements relevant to the nearby IL4, IL5 and IL13 cluster, so a locus association can concern more than the coding function of one gene. Also called…
TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis. Also called: Repai…
TNFRSF10A encodes death receptor 4, or DR4, a receptor that can receive the TRAIL signal and participate in regulated cell-death pathways. TRAIL itself is encoded by TNFSF10. Also called: DR4 receives the TRAIL signal TNFRSF10A encodes dea…
TNFSF10 encodes TRAIL, a signaling protein involved in regulated cell death through particular receptors. It is a different member of the TNF-related signaling family from TNF itself. Also called: TRAIL and regulated cell death TNFSF10 enc…
Your local doctor will likely tell you that MTHFR testing and taking an MTHFR Daily supplement is a waste of money. They might even claim it isn't a real medical issue. After 15 years of hearing this pap, I can tell you they are flat-out wr…

…upport your body's natural antioxidant defenses and healthy cellular function as part of a proactive approach to wellness. And you do not have to go without simply because one form does not fit your lifestyle. Want nutritional support fro…
… your body naturally uses to help neutralize superoxide radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. That means the conversation about wellness should not only begin when something feels wrong. It should begin at the cellular level. …
What if the conversation about inflammation is missing something happening at the cellular level? When inflammation becomes a persistent problem, oxidative stress is often part of the bigger biological picture. Your body has its own anti…
