What’s searchable?IL23A encodes the p19 subunit of interleukin-23. Together with the p40 subunit encoded by IL12B, it forms a cytokine involved in supporting Th17 responses. Also called: The p19 component of IL-23 IL23A encodes the p19 subunit of interleuki…
IL2RA encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, also called CD25. It is involved in immune activation and regulatory T-cell biology; a soluble receptor measurement is distinct from a DNA result. Also called: CD25 and immune-ce…
IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signal that can act as an alarmin during tissue stress and promote type 2 immune responses. It belongs in a different functional group from chemokines that recruit cells. Also called: An alarmin in allergic s…
IL5 encodes interleukin-5, a cytokine important to eosinophil growth, survival and activation. Eosinophils are involved in selected allergic and other inflammatory conditions. Also called: An eosinophil-focused cytokine IL5 encodes interle…
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…
See how homocysteine connects to cysteine and glutathione. Follow seven simple steps, explore the side routes, and tap a word or building block to learn more. Also called: Transsulfuration, Transsulphuration, Sulfur pathway, Cysteine synthe…
What if your blood work says everything is normal, but you still do not feel normal? That is exactly why the conversation about Cellular Micronutrient Assay testing matters. Your body depends on vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antiox…
Search looks for your words in titles, descriptions, available articles, learning guides, and video captions when available. The closest matches appear first. Duplicate posts are grouped, with links to other places you can read or watch them. Books, chapters, and reports have topic guides here; the original files and full book text are not available in this encyclopedia.
