G-L

Gastrointestinal Genes

KIAA1109

This protein produced by this gene is believed to play a role in guiding the growth and differentiation of epithelial cells and also in the onset of tumors.
Heart Health Genes

LPL

LPL is an enzyme which regulates triglycerides in lipoproteins, and their uptake by cells. Situated on the surface of capillary cells, this enzyme plays a crucial role in the breakdown and assimilation of dietary fat.
Heart Health Genes

LPA

LPA is one of the major lipoproteins found in our body, responsible for cholesterol transport.
Gastrointestinal Genes

IL23R

IL23R is the receptor for the protein IL-23, which is involved in the immune response.
Gastrointestinal Genes

GCKR

GCKR is a protein produced in the liver which regulates glucose metabolism.
Immune System Genes

IL10

IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine which acts to damp down the immune systems inflammatory response.
Heart Health Genes

LDLR

LDLR is a receptor protein which specifically recognises LDL particles.
Longevity Genes

GCLC

GCLC forms part of glutamate-cysteine ligase which forms part of the pathway that produces the vital antioxidant glutathione.
Longevity Genes

GCLM

GCLC forms part of glutamate-cysteine ligase which forms part of the pathway that produces the vital antioxidant glutathione.
Immune System Genes

HNMT

HNMT breaks down the molecule histamine which is important in the immune response.
Immune System Genes

GSTP1

GSTP1 is an enzyme which assists the antioxidant glutathione remove harmful reactive oxygen species.
Longevity Genes

G6PD

G6PD is an enzyme which produces NADPH, key in the biosysnthesis of many molecules and in oxidative defense.
