Indicators
GGT participates in the transfer of amino acids across the cellular membrane and in glutathione metabolism. High concentrations are found in the liver, bile ducts, and the kidney. A test that measures the amount of GGT in the blood is used to detect diseases of the liver, bile ducts, and kidney; and to differentiate liver or bile duct (hepatobiliary) disorders from bone disease.
Indicators
Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (359 aa, ~39 kDa) is encoded by the human HAVCR1 gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of asthma and allergic reactions.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and cellular communication.
Tests
The determination of cellular IgD expression in a biological specimen.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of cellular IgM expression in a biological specimen.
For professionals
Tests
Clinical laboratory tests that examine antigen-antibody reactions in whole blood or its cellular and/or fluid components that may impact natural processes, such as fertility, and clinical procedures affected by tissue and blood compatibility, such as transplants and transfusions.

Glossary Term
An isomer of propyl alcohol with antibacterial properties. Although the exact mechanism of isopropanol's disinfecting action is not known, it might kill cells by denaturing cell proteins and DNA, interfering with cellular metabolism, and dissolving cell lipo-protein membranes. Isopropanol is used in soaps and lotions as an antiseptic.
Extraction Methodology
Tests
The determination of the amount of kidney injury molecule-1 present in a sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cellular hematopoiesis and differentiations. Mutations in the gene are associated with several diseases, including acute myelogenous leukemia, gastrointestinal tumors, and mast cell disease.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in mediating cellular responses to growth factors, metabolic stimuli and mitogens.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in several cellular processes related to cellular viability; including the cell cycle and apoptosis.
Glossary Term
Metabolomics is the study of the biological metabolic profile of a cellular specimen in a specific environment at an isolated timepoint. This discipline depicts the physiological states of cells and organisms by focusing on carbohydrates, lipids, and other metabolites. Several analytical techniques are utilized to quantify the metabolic content of specimens such as mass spectrometry and electrophoretic applications.
