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.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of cell signaling. It is involved in cell migration, metabolic control, mitogenic activation and gene transcription.
Tests
A type of blood test used to test for allergies.
Tests
A red cell distribution width (RDW) test measures how much the volume and size of your red blood cells (erythrocytes) varies.
Tests
A red blood cell (RBC) count measures the number of red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, in your blood. Red blood cells are made in your bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside your large bones. They contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and make energy for you to function. An RBC count that is higher or lower than normal is often the first sign of an illness. So, the test may allow you to get treatment even before you have symptoms.
Tests
Red blood cell (RBC) indices measure your red blood cells' size, shape, and quality. Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. They are made in your bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside your large bones). They contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and make energy.
Glossary Term
A set of values of particular type of measurement that is used to interpret corresponding observation results.
Tests
The determination of the amount of respiratory syncytial virus type A in a biological sample.
