CACNA1D (Calcium Voltage-Gated Channel Subunit Alpha1 D): CACNA1D is a gene that encodes a subunit of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel, which is essential for regulating calcium influx in various cell types, especially in muscle and nerve cells. Mutations in this gene have been linked to conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and certain cardiac dysfunctions.

CACNA1D

PVR (Poliovirus Receptor): PVR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for poliovirus and related enteroviruses, enabling viral entry and infection. Beyond its role in viral recognition, PVR is vital for cell-to-cell adhesion, immune regulation, and tissue homeostasis. It supports the integrity of epithelial and endothelial barriers through its role in adherens and tight junctions. PVR’s interactions with ligands such as TIGIT and DNAM-1 help regulate immune cell activation, affecting both innate and adaptive immune responses. Dysregulation of PVR expression or function can significantly impact immune function and tissue integrity.

MPO (Myeloperoxidase): MPO is an enzyme primarily found in neutrophils and plays a crucial role in the body’s defence system. It produces hypochlorous acid and other reactive molecules from hydrogen peroxide to fight bacteria and pathogens. While vital for immune defence, MPO activity can also cause tissue damage during inflammation and has been associated with diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, through its involvement in oxidative stress.

TMPRSS4 (Transmembrane Protease, Serine 4): TMPRSS4 is a member of the transmembrane serine protease family, found on the cell surface and involved in activating proteins by cleaving peptide bonds. TMPRSS4 plays crucial roles in physiological and pathological processes, including cell migration, invasion, and the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is vital for development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. Its overexpression has been associated with the progression of various cancers, making TMPRSS4 a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

TMPRSS4

SARDH (Sarcosine Dehydrogenase): SARDH is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of sarcosine, an intermediate in the conversion of choline to glycine. It plays a key role in one-carbon metabolism, which is important for processes such as DNA methylation. Dysfunctions in SARDH can affect metabolic pathways and have been associated with certain metabolic disorders.

SARDH

RWDD3 (RWD Domain Containing 3): RWDD3 is a protein whose function is not yet fully understood. It is being studied for its possible roles in cellular processes and its significance to human health and disease.

RWDD3

THNSL2 (Threonine Synthase-Like 2): THNSL2 is an enzyme that may play a role in amino acid metabolism, specifically in threonine synthesis. Its exact function and importance in human metabolism and disease remain unclear.

THNSL2

NFE2 (Nuclear Factor, Erythroid 2): NFE2 is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in erythropoiesis, the process of producing red blood cells. It plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of erythroid cells. Alterations or mutations in NFE2 can affect red blood cell production and may lead to blood disorders.

NFE2

OXTR (Oxytocin Receptor): OXTR is a gene that encodes the receptor for oxytocin, a hormone involved in social bonding, sexual reproduction, childbirth, and maternal behaviours. It plays a key role in regulating social interactions and trust, and dysregulation may contribute to conditions such as autism and social anxiety disorders.

OXTR

OR10J5 (Olfactory Receptor 10J5): OR10J5 is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the olfactory receptor family, which is essential for the sense of smell. This receptor detects specific odor molecules and contributes to the perception of a wide range of scents. Studying OR10J5 helps improve our understanding of olfaction and may inform the development of sensory-related technologies and fragrance design.

OR10J5

TNFRSF11B (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 11B): TNFRSF11B is a protein, also known as osteoprotegerin, that plays a key role in bone metabolism. It acts as a decoy receptor for RANKL, helping to inhibit osteoclast formation and prevent bone resorption. TNFRSF11B is essential for maintaining bone density and strength, and changes in its function are associated with osteoporosis and other bone disorders.

TNFRSF11B

TP63 (Tumor Protein P63): TP63 is a member of the p53 family of transcription factors that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of epithelial tissues, as well as in cell cycle regulation and programmed cell death. It is involved in embryonic development, stem cell maintenance, and tumour formation. Mutations in TP63 can lead to various developmental disorders and have been associated with certain cancers. Research continues to investigate its dual functions in normal cellular processes and disease.

TP63

TMEM245 (Transmembrane Protein 245): TMEM245 is a protein found in the cell membrane, although its exact functions are not yet fully understood. It may be involved in processes related to membrane dynamics or intracellular transport. Further research is necessary to elucidate its role in cellular physiology and its potential associations with disease.

TMEM245

NDRG2 (N-Myc Downstream Regulated Gene 2): NDRG2 is a gene that regulates cell growth and differentiation. It acts as a tumour suppressor and plays a crucial role in stress responses and the inhibition of cell proliferation. NDRG2 is especially vital for brain and nervous system development, and its dysregulation has been associated with various types of cancer.

NDRG2

RTN4 (Reticulon 4): RTN4 is a protein, also known as Nogo, which plays a crucial role in regulating nerve fibre growth in the central nervous system. It holds significant importance in the context of spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative diseases, as it can inhibit axon regeneration. RTN4 has been a focal point of research dedicated to promoting neural repair and regeneration.

RTN4

TMEM72 (Transmembrane Protein 72): TMEM72 is a transmembrane protein whose functions have not yet been fully defined. Similar to other transmembrane proteins, TMEM72 is thought to be involved in cellular signalling, transport, and communication.
