What’s searchable?GSR encodes glutathione reductase. It uses reducing power from NADPH to help convert oxidized glutathione back to reduced glutathione, allowing this antioxidant system to be reused. Also called: Glutathione Reductase Recycling used glutathi…
GSTM1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds. Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Mu 1 Using glutathione in conjugation GSTM1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in conjugation …
GSTP1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds. Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Pi 1 Using glutathione in conjugation GSTP1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in conjugation …
GSTT1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds. Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Theta 1, GSTT Using glutathione in conjugation GSTT1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in con…
HLA-DQA2 is part of the HLA class II region involved in immune recognition. It should not be treated as interchangeable with HLA-DQA1 or as a measurement of how well the immune system fights infections. Also called: HLADQA2, Human Leukocyte…
HRH2 is the gene name for Histamine Receptor H2. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it. Also called: Histamine Receptor H2 Histamine also connects to stomach acid Dr. Purser’s genetics reference connects HRH2 with…
IL21 encodes a cytokine involved in regulating lymphocytes, including B-cell responses. It sits within an immune network that connects T-cell help, antibody responses and inflammatory activity. Also called: IL-21, Interleukin 21 A link betw…
IL23R encodes part of the receptor that receives IL-23 signals. This connects the gene to the maintenance of Th17-related immune responses, which differ from the Th2 patterns discussed in allergy. Also called: IL-23R, Interleukin 23 Recepto…
IL6 encodes interleukin-6, a cytokine involved in immune responses and acute-phase signaling. It can appear in discussions of infection, chronic inflammation and metabolic health, with effects that depend on the context. Also called: IL-6, …
MAOA helps break down some chemical messengers. A gene result cannot predict a mood or behavior. Also called: MAO-A, Monoamine Oxidase A Neurotransmitter breakdown in context Dr. Purser places MAOA in the neurotransmitter-breakdown part of …
Makes the methionine synthase enzyme, which uses vitamin B12 in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Also called: Methionine Synthase The B12-dependent step In Dr. Purser’s teaching map, MTR is the B12-dependent step that converts …
NAT2 encodes N-acetyltransferase 2, which helps process certain drugs and other compounds. Combinations of variants can influence acetylation status; one SNP usually does not tell the entire story. Also called: N-Acetyltransferase 2 Acetyla…
