MMP3 encodes matrix metalloproteinase 3, an enzyme involved in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix. Controlled remodeling is part of repair, while excess activity can accompany inflammatory tissue damage.

VDR encodes the vitamin D receptor, which helps regulate gene activity in response to active vitamin D. A receptor variant does not by itself mean receptors are absent or that the blood vitamin D level is low.

GSTO2 encodes glutathione S-transferase omega 2, a redox enzyme with dehydroascorbate reductase activity that connects glutathione chemistry with vitamin C recycling. It is a separate gene from GSTO1.
