KATNIP (Katanin Interacting Protein): KATNIP is a gene that encodes a protein involved in regulating the katanin complex, which is responsible for severing microtubules. Through this interaction, KATNIP may influence microtubule dynamics, affecting cell division, movement, and intracellular transport.

KATNIP

ATP1B2 (Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-2) is a protein that functions as part of the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump — a crucial enzyme complex responsible for maintaining the balance of sodium and potassium ions across cell membranes. This balance is essential for key physiological processes such as nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and regulation of cell volume. As a beta subunit, ATP1B2 supports the assembly, stability, and membrane localization of the pump through its interaction with the catalytic alpha subunit.

ATP1B2

JAML (Junctional Adhesion Molecule Like) is a cell adhesion molecule that plays a crucial role in regulating the movement of leukocytes across epithelial and endothelial barriers. This process is essential for the immune response, allowing immune cells to migrate from the bloodstream into tissues during injury or infection. JAML mediates cell-to-cell interactions vital for inflammation and immune surveillance, making it a key focus for understanding and treating inflammatory diseases and immune disorders.

JAML

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

EXTL2

APOC1 (Apolipoprotein C-I) is a protein belonging to the apolipoprotein family, involved in lipid metabolism and transport. It is associated with very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), helping regulate the breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. By inhibiting enzymes such as lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase, APOC1 affects blood lipid levels and plays a key role in cardiovascular health. Dysregulation of APOC1 function can contribute to conditions like hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

APOC1

DDI1 (DNA-Damage Inducible 1 Homolog 1) is a protein involved in essential cellular functions such as DNA repair, cell cycle control, and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It plays a vital role in the response to DNA damage by functioning as a ubiquitin-dependent protease, aiding in the degradation of specific proteins to preserve cellular health. Because of its diverse functions, DDI1 is crucial for protecting cells from stress and may be associated with cancer and other diseases linked to DNA damage and repair.

DDI1

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 fibers, 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 tumors, highlighting its importance in cell biology and cancer research.

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.
