Tests
This test measures the level of renin in your blood. Renin is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up certain chemical reactions in your body. It's made by your kidneys. When your blood pressure or sodium decreases or your potassium increases, your kidneys release renin. That's because renin also acts as a hormone (a chemical messenger in your bloodstream that controls the actions of certain cells or organs) to help control your blood pressure.
Tests
The determination of the amount of retinol binding protein 1 in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of retinol binding protein 2 in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of retinol binding protein 4 in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of retinol binding protein present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of retinol binding protein compared to creatinine present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Tests
A rheumatoid factor (RF) test checks a sample of your blood for rheumatoid factor, a protein made by the immune system .
Indicators
An essential human nutrient that is a heat-stable and water-soluble flavin belonging to the vitamin B family. Riboflavin is a precursor of the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These coenzymes are of vital importance in normal tissue respiration, pyridoxine activation, tryptophan to niacin conversion, fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism, and glutathione reductase mediated detoxification. Riboflavin may also be involved in maintaining erythrocyte integrity. This vitamin is essential for healthy skin, nails, and hair.
Glossary Term
Ribonuclease inhibitor (461 aa, ~50 kDa) is encoded by the human RNH1 gene. This protein plays a role in the inhibition of ribonucleases.
Glossary Term
Single-stranded long chain of nucleotides containing ribose. It is the end product of DNA transcription by the enzyme RNA polymerase. It is essential in protein synthesis.
Glossary Term
An RNA molecule that does not contain protein-coding sequence information and constitutes the majority of the cellular RNA (~80%). This nucleic acid associates with multiple proteins to form ribosomes, which are the organelles that drive mRNA-directed protein synthesis.
