Tests
A total protein and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio test measures the total amount of protein in your blood. Proteins have many important functions, including giving your body energy, rebuilding muscles, and helping your immune system . Your body might make too much or too little protein if you have certain health conditions.
Indicators
This gene plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation and has tumor suppressor activity.
Tests
A TP53 genetic test uses a sample of your blood, bone marrow, or tissue from a tumor to look for changes in the tumor protein 53 gene, or TP53 for short. Changes in your genes are also called gene variants or mutations.
Glossary Term
The complete set of RNA transcripts that are produced by the genome, under specific circumstances or in a specific cell.
Glossary Term
A class of short adaptor RNAs that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each transfer RNA comprises a three-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the triplet nucleotide coding sequence of an mRNA, conferring specificity to the amino acid being incorporated into the assembling protein.
Tests
This test checks whether tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) can be found in your blood or urine. It can also measure how much TCA is in your blood or urine. TCAs are a type of antidepressant . Antidepressants are prescription medicines that treat depression , a serious mood disorder . Depression can affect how you think, feel, and behave.
Indicators
Fats composed of three fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol molecule.
Tests
A triglycerides test is a blood test that measures the amount of a fat in your blood called triglycerides. High blood triglyceride levels may increase your risk for heart disease and stroke . A triglycerides test can help you decide if you need to take action to lower your risk.
Indicators
A thyroid hormone containing 3 iodine atoms generally synthesized from levothyroxine, and has greater biological activity.
Tests
A triiodothyronine (T3) test measures the level of T3 in a sample of your blood. It's used to help diagnose thyroid disease .
Indicators
Troponin I, troponin T, and troponin C are the three closely associated subunits of the troponin complex of thin filaments in muscle. The complex serves as a calcium-sensitive switch that regulates muscle contraction. In the absence of calcium, Troponin I binds actin, inhibits actomyosin ATPase activity, and inhibits F-actin-myosin interactions. The troponin I gene family comprises three isoforms: skeletal TNI-fast, skeletal TNI-slow, and TNI-cardiac. (from OMIM 191044, 191043, 191042 and NCI)
Indicators
Troponin I, troponin T, and troponin C are the three closely associated subunits of the troponin complex of thin filaments in muscle. The complex serves as a calcium-sensitive switch that regulates muscle contraction. Troponin T binds tropomyosin to the troponin complex and inhibits F-actin-myosin interactions. The troponin T gene family comprises three isoforms: slow skeletal (TNNT1), cardiac (TNNT2) and fast skeletal (TNNT3). Because it is not normally found in blood, cardiac troponin-T in serum is a sensitive indicator of myocardial cell injury.
