EXTL2 (Exostosin-Like Glycosyltransferase 2) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in the production of heparan sulfate, a key component of the extracellular matrix. Heparan sulfate interacts with various growth factors and signaling molecules, playing important roles in cell proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. EXTL2’s function in heparan sulfate synthesis underscores its importance in development and maintaining tissue health.

LPP (LIM Domain Containing Preferred Translocation Partner In Lipoma) is a protein involved in regulating cell adhesion, migration, and the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a key role in forming focal adhesions and stress fibres, which connect the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. LPP’s function is essential for controlling cell movement and maintaining cellular structure. Changes in LPP have been linked to the development of lipomas and other tumours, underscoring its significance in cell biology and cancer research.

ADH1A (Alcohol Dehydrogenase 1A) is a gene that encodes an enzyme responsible for breaking down alcohol in the liver. It catalyzes the conversion of ethanol into acetaldehyde, a crucial step in alcohol metabolism. Variations in the ADH1A gene can affect how the body processes alcohol and may influence an individual’s susceptibility to alcohol-related conditions.

ADH1A

FABP2 (Fatty Acid Binding Protein 2) is a protein involved in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA derivatives. It plays a crucial role in the absorption and metabolism of fatty acids within the intestine. Variations in FABP2 can affect lipid metabolism and are associated with metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

FABP2

FOLH1 (Folate Hydrolase 1), also known as Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), is a gene involved in folate metabolism and the activation of folate for DNA synthesis and repair. It plays a key role in cell growth and division. FOLH1 is notably expressed in prostate cancer cells, making it a valuable target for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

FOLH1

DOCK10 (Dedicator of Cytokinesis 10) is a gene involved in the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, contributing to the activation and movement of immune cells, particularly T-cells and B-cells. It plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and may have implications in autoimmune disorders and immune system diseases.

DOCK10

SLC44A5 (Solute Carrier Family 44 Member 5) is a gene that encodes a membrane transport protein belonging to the solute carrier family. Although its specific functions and substrates are not fully defined, SLC44A5 is believed to play a role in essential cellular transport processes involved in maintaining homeostasis and normal cell function.

SLC44A5

ENPEP (Glutamyl Aminopeptidase) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. It functions within the angiotensin pathway by processing angiotensin II, a molecule that causes blood vessels to constrict. Changes in ENPEP activity have been linked to hypertension and cardiovascular conditions, making it a focus of research in vascular health.
