Glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 2 also known as GNPDA2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNPDA2 gene. [5]
Variants of the GNPDA2 gene may be associated with obesity. [6] [7] [8]
Proprotein convertase 1, also known as prohormone convertase, prohormone convertase 3, or neuroendocrine convertase 1 and often abbreviated as PC1/3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1 gene. PCSK1 and PCSK2 differentially cleave proopiomelanocortin and they act together to process proinsulin and proglucagon in pancreatic islets.
Apolipoprotein C-IV, also known as apolipoprotein C4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOC4 gene.
Natriuretic peptide receptor C/guanylate cyclase C , also known as NPR3, is an atrial natriuretic peptide receptor. In humans it is encoded by the NPR3 gene.
McKusick–Kaufman/Bardet–Biedl syndromes putative chaperonin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKKS gene.
Bardet–Biedl syndrome 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS1 gene. BBS1 is part of the BBSome complex, which required for ciliogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with the major form of Bardet–Biedl syndrome.
Glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNPDA1 gene.
Bardet–Biedl syndrome 2 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS2 gene.
Probable phospholipid-transporting ATPase VA also known as ATPase class V type 10A (ATP10A) or aminophospholipid translocase VA is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ATP10A gene.
Transcription factor AP-2 beta also known as AP2-beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFAP2B gene.
Meckel syndrome, type 1 also known as MKS1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKS1 gene.
Transmembrane protein 18 also known as TMEM18 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TMEM18 gene.
Neuronal growth regulator 1 also known as NEGR1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NEGR1 gene.
Potassium channel tetramerisation domain containing 15 also known as BTB/POZ domain-containing protein KCTD15 is protein that in humans is encoded by the KCTD15 gene.
Mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 also known as MTCH2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MTCH2 gene.
Like many other medical conditions, obesity is the result of an interplay between environmental and genetic factors. Studies have identified variants in several genes that may contribute to weight gain and body fat distribution; although, only in a few cases are genes the primary cause of obesity.
Protocadherin Fat 4, also known as cadherin family member 14 (CDHF14) or FAT tumor suppressor homolog 4 (FAT4), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAT4 gene.
WD repeat-containing protein 72 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR72 gene. WDR72 contains 7 WD40 repeats, which are predicted to form the blades of a 7 beta propeller structure.
Tektin 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TEKT1 gene.
CDKN2B-AS, also known as ANRIL is a long non-coding RNA consisting of 19 exons, spanning 126.3kb in the genome, and its spliced product is a 3834bp RNA. It is located within the p15/CDKN2B-p16/CDKN2A-p14/ARF gene cluster, in the antisense direction. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which alter the expression of CDKN2B-AS are associated with human healthy life expectancy, as well as with multiple diseases, including coronary artery disease, diabetes and many cancers. It binds to chromobox 7 (CBX7) within the polycomb repressive complex 1 and to SUZ12, a component of polycomb repression complex 2 and through these interactions is involved in transcriptional repression.
Monocarboxylate transporter 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC16A9 gene.
