Its involvement in the IL-33 signaling pathway makes it a potential target for therapies aimed at allergic and inflammatory disorders.

COPB1 (Coatomer Protein Complex Subunit Beta 1): COPB1 is a component of the coatomer protein complex that functions in intracellular transport. It is essential for moving proteins between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, a process critical for proper cell function and accurate protein sorting.

COPB1

PGLYRP2 (Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein 2): PGLYRP2 is a member of the peptidoglycan recognition protein family, involved in innate immunity by detecting bacterial cell wall components and triggering antibacterial responses. It helps maintain intestinal barrier integrity, supports a balanced gut microbiome, and protects against bacterial infections. PGLYRP2 is also under investigation for its role in inflammatory bowel diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target in gut immunity and inflammation.

PGLYRP2

UBE3A (Ubiquitin Protein Ligase E3A): UBE3A is a gene that encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme, which helps regulate protein degradation through the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. It plays an important role in normal brain development and function. Mutations in UBE3A are linked to Angelman syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by intellectual disability, developmental delay, and characteristic behavioral features.

UBE3A

RAB28 (Ras-Related Protein Rab-28): RAB28 is a member of the RAB family of small GTPases, proteins involved in regulating intracellular vesicle trafficking. RAB28 contributes to vesicle transport and membrane dynamics within the cell.

RAB28

CLDN11 (Claudin 11): CLDN11 is a protein that forms part of tight junctions — structures essential for maintaining barrier integrity in tissues. It plays a key role in the central nervous system and testes, contributing to myelin sheath formation and spermatogenesis. Mutations in CLDN11 may lead to neurological impairments and reproductive disorders.

CLDN11

IL16 (Interleukin 16): IL16 is a cytokine that acts as a chemoattractant for specific immune cells, helping regulate immune responses and inflammation. It participates in cellular signaling pathways and has been linked to various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

IL16

OLFM3 (Olfactomedin 3): OLFM3 is a protein belonging to the olfactomedin domain–containing family, predominantly expressed in the brain. It is thought to be involved in neural development and function, though its precise roles in the nervous system remain under investigation.

OLFM3

GPD2 (Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 2): GPD2 is an enzyme that plays a key role in glycerol metabolism and lipid biosynthesis. It catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, an essential step in lipid synthesis. This function is vital for maintaining energy storage and lipid balance in the body.
