Tests
A potassium blood test measures the amount of potassium in your blood. Potassium is a type of electrolyte . Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that help control the amount of fluids and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. They also help control muscle and nerve activity and perform other important functions.

Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of protein kinase A.
Tests
The determination of the amount of proB-type natriuretic peptide present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of procollagen type I carboxy terminal peptide present in a sample.
Tests

Glossary Term
A type of study in which participants are enrolled into the study before they develop the disease or outcome in question.
Indicators
Prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (190 aa, ~21 kDa) is encoded by the human PTGDS gene. This protein is involved in the conversion of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin D2 (PGD2).
Tests
An immunofixation (IFE) blood test measures the number and type of proteins in your blood. Proteins have many important functions, including giving your body energy, rebuilding muscles, and helping your immune system. There are different types of proteins, and each one has a different job for your body. This test checks to see if your body is making or losing too much of certain proteins. Your body might make too much or too little protein if you have certain health conditions.
Tests
A measurement of the protein Wnt-10b activity in a sample.
Glossary Term
Refers to the total protein-encoding capability of an organism's genome. It is also used to refer to the actual total expressed protein complement of an organism or to the identifiable proteins of a single tissue or cell type or subcellular compartment.
