DNAJB4 (DnaJ Heat Shock Protein Family (Hsp40) Member B4) is a co-chaperone protein that supports the proper folding, degradation, and assembly of other proteins in the cell. It plays a key role in managing cellular stress responses, especially during heat shock, helping to maintain cellular balance and protect cells from damage caused by stress.

ATP2B4 is a gene that encodes a calcium pump responsible for removing calcium ions from cells. This pump plays a vital role in maintaining intracellular calcium balance, which is essential for muscle contraction, cell signaling, and nerve function. Proper regulation of ATP2B4 is important for cardiovascular health, and its dysfunction has been linked to heart-related diseases.

ADAMTS10 (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs 10) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix, especially in connective tissues. It plays a key role in tissue development and repair, particularly in cartilage and bone. Variants in ADAMTS10 have been linked to connective tissue disorders and skeletal abnormalities.

LRRC7 (Leucine Rich Repeat Containing 7): LRRC7 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in synaptic functions in the brain. It is particularly associated with dendritic spines, which are essential for synaptic transmission and plasticity. Changes in LRRC7 have been linked to neurological disorders, underscoring its importance in brain development and function.

MTCH2 (Mitochondrial Carrier Homolog 2): MTCH2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. It is believed to play a role in mitochondrial transport and metabolic processes. Although its precise functions are still under investigation, MTCH2 may affect cellular energy balance and metabolic health.

MTCH2

NT5C2 (5'-Nucleotidase, Cytosolic II): NT5C2 is an enzyme that helps regulate nucleotide levels in cells, particularly in purine metabolism. It has been associated with chemotherapy resistance in certain leukemias and may play a role in purine metabolism disorders.

XKR6 (XK Related 6) is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the XK family, which may be involved in transmembrane transport. Although its exact function is not yet fully understood, XKR6 could play a role in cellular processes important for human health.

XKR6

SIPA1L3 (Signal-Induced Proliferation-Associated 1 Like 3) is a gene involved in signal transduction and cell growth. It plays an important role in the nervous system by supporting synaptic function and neuronal communication. Changes in SIPA1L3 may affect brain development and cognitive function, potentially contributing to neurological disorders.

SIPA1L3

ADARB1 (Adenosine Deaminase RNA-Specific B1) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in RNA editing — a process that modifies RNA molecules after transcription. This editing can affect RNA stability, function, and how genes are expressed. ADARB1 plays an important role in brain function and has been linked to the regulation of neural activity and neurological disorders.

ADARB1

UNC119B (UNC-119 Homolog B) is a gene involved in transporting proteins to cilia—specialized cellular structures critical for signaling and sensory functions. It plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Disruption of UNC119B function can impair ciliary activity and may contribute to retinal disorders and vision loss.

UNC119B

ADAM10 (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 10) is a protein that acts as a transmembrane protease, involved in regulating cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. It functions by cleaving the extracellular parts of various cell surface proteins, such as growth factors and receptors, influencing important pathways like Notch and cadherin signaling. ADAM10 plays key roles in tissue development, cell communication, and nervous system function.

ADAM10

FN3KRP (Fructosamine 3 Kinase-Related Protein) is a protein involved in fructosamine metabolism and may help regulate glucose levels in the body. It is related to the enzyme fructosamine 3 kinase and may influence glycation processes, which are linked to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that affect diabetes and aging-related conditions.

FN3KRP

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.
