HUNK (Hormonally Up-Regulated Neu-Associated Kinase): HUNK is a gene that encodes a protein kinase regulated by hormonal signals. It has been associated with breast cancer, where overexpression may promote tumor growth and metastasis. By participating in intracellular signaling pathways influenced by hormones such as estrogen, HUNK plays a key role in cancer biology and is being investigated as a potential therapeutic target.

HUNK

NDUFA11 (NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase Subunit A11): NDUFA11 is a gene that encodes a protein component of mitochondrial complex I, the first and largest enzyme complex in the electron transport chain. It supports complex I assembly, stability, and electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone, helping generate the proton gradient needed for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. Mutations in NDUFA11 can disrupt energy metabolism and contribute to mitochondrial diseases and related disorders.

NDUFA11

JHY (Jellybean Homologue Y): JHY is a protein involved in intracellular signaling pathways that regulate key aspects of cell behavior, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. By influencing these processes, JHY helps maintain cellular homeostasis. Changes in its expression or function have been associated with pathological conditions, including cancer.

KCNK2 (Potassium Two Pore Domain Channel Subfamily K Member 2): KCNK2 is a gene that encodes a protein forming part of a potassium channel. This channel helps regulate the electrical activity of neurons and plays a key role in controlling neuronal excitability. KCNK2 channels are important for physiological processes such as sleep regulation and anesthesia. Mutations or dysfunctions in KCNK2 have been linked to neurological conditions like epilepsy and paroxysmal movement disorders.

KCNK2

ASIP (Agouti Signaling Protein): ASIP is a protein that influences pigmentation by regulating melanin production in the skin and hair. It works by blocking melanocortin receptors, which helps determine the type and distribution of melanin. Changes in ASIP expression affect pigmentation patterns, skin cancer risk, and metabolic regulation, highlighting its important roles in both coloration and metabolic health.

ASIP

GNB3: GNB3 is a gene that encodes a subunit of G proteins, which help transmit signals from outside the cell to the inside. A well-known variant (C825T) has been linked to traits such as hypertension and obesity, making GNB3 important in studying disease risk and individual responses to medications.

GNB3

UPB1 (Beta-Ureidopropionase 1): UPB1 is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of pyrimidines, which are building blocks of nucleotides in the body. Proper UPB1 function is essential for nucleotide metabolism, and deficiencies can cause beta-ureidopropionase deficiency, a rare condition linked to neurological symptoms and developmental delays.

UPB1

SH3YL1 (SH3 And SYLF Domain Containing 1): SH3YL1 is a gene that encodes a protein featuring SH3 and SYLF domains, suggesting a role in protein-protein interactions. Although its exact functions are still being researched, SH3YL1 is believed to participate in cellular signaling pathways and regulate membrane dynamics.

SH3YL1

ZNF365 (Zinc Finger Protein 365): ZNF365 is a protein that belongs to the zinc finger family, known for its role in binding DNA and regulating gene expression. It is involved in the DNA damage response and repair, helping to maintain genomic stability. Variants in ZNF365 have been linked to an increased risk for diseases such as breast cancer and Crohn’s disease, highlighting its importance in cellular defense and disease susceptibility.

ZNF365

ZNF438, also known as Zinc Finger Protein 438, is a member of the zinc finger protein family, characterized by zinc finger domains that enable DNA binding and protein interactions. These proteins play key roles in regulating gene expression, chromatin remodeling, and RNA processing. ZNF438 primarily functions as a transcription factor, binding to specific DNA sequences to control the activity of target genes, often working together with other transcriptional regulators and chromatin modifiers to fine-tune cellular processes.

ZNF438

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
