What’s searchable?PON1 is discussed in relation to how the body handles some compounds and protects certain fats. Also called: Paraoxonase 1 A different part of antioxidant handling PON1 appears in Dr. Purser’s redox and conversion teaching alongside GST and…
PTGS2, commonly called COX-2, encodes an enzyme involved in prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins participate in pain, fever and inflammatory signaling. Also called: COX2, Cyclooxygenase 2 COX-2 and inflammatory prostaglandins PTGS2, com…
SHMT1 connects serine and glycine with folate chemistry. Also called: Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase 1 Where amino acids meet folate SHMT1 connects serine and glycine with folate pathways. That is one reason both nutrition and genetics can…
SOD1 helps convert superoxide inside cells as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses. Also called: Superoxide Dismutase 1 Superoxide defense in its own setting Dr. Purser teaches SOD as one member of an antioxidant team. SOD1 works primari…
SOD2 works in mitochondria as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses. Also called: Superoxide Dismutase 2 Superoxide defense in its own setting Dr. Purser teaches SOD as one member of an antioxidant team. SOD2 works in mitochondria and use…
SOD3 works outside cells as part of the body’s antioxidant defenses. Also called: Superoxide Dismutase 3 Superoxide defense in its own setting Dr. Purser teaches SOD as one member of an antioxidant team. SOD3 works outside cells and uses co…
TCN2 helps carry vitamin B12 in the body. A gene result alone cannot tell you your B12 status. Also called: Transcobalamin II B12 must be carried as well as consumed TCN2 appears in Dr. Purser’s homocysteine and methylation map because it c…
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. Also called: Vitamin D Recepto…
VKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor. Also called: Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Complex Subunit 1 Recycling vitamin K a…
Separate the gene, variant, measured value and clinical interpretation—and learn which questions to bring to your visit. Also called: Keep the original result in view Start with your original report: check the date, units, the lab’s range,…
ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficienc…
CCL11 encodes eotaxin-1, a chemokine best known for attracting eosinophils. Its receptor relationships connect it to allergic inflammation as well as broader research into immune signaling. Also called: Eotaxin-1 and eosinophil recruitment…
