RAB11FIP2 (RAB11 Family Interacting Protein 2): RAB11FIP2 is involved in intracellular trafficking and plays a key role in the recycling of proteins and membranes from the endocytic recycling compartment. It is important for cellular homeostasis and the proper functioning of membrane traffic systems, with implications in various cellular processes, including signal transduction and immune responses....

RAB11FIP2

NCLN (Nicalin): NCLN, known as nicalin, is part of a complex that regulates intracellular signaling pathways crucial for developmental processes. It plays a key role in modulating Notch signaling, a pathway involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of NCLN or its associated pathways can lead to developmental abnormalities and has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. NCLN's function in maintaining cellular communication underscores its importance in development and disease....


NCLN

REX1BD (REX1 Basic Domain): REX1BD is a gene associated with a basic domain that may play a role in DNA binding or protein-protein interactions. The specific functions and cellular processes involving REX1BD require further investigation to fully understand its contributions to biology....

NR3C1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 1): NR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which mediates the effects of glucocorticoids, a class of steroid hormones. This receptor is involved in diverse processes including stress response, immune function, and metabolism. Dysregulation of NR3C1 is associated with various stress-related disorders, inflammatory conditions, and metabolic diseases. It plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and inflammation, making it a significant target in the treatment of a range of conditions from autoimmune diseases to psychiatric disorders....



NR3C1

MSRB2 (Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase B2): MSRB2 is an enzyme involved in the repair of oxidized methionine residues in proteins, protecting cells from oxidative stress and maintaining protein function. It plays a role in antioxidant defense mechanisms and is important for cellular resilience to environmental stresses. Research into MSRB2 focuses on its potential role in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and conditions related to oxidative damage....

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.
