Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (abbreviated PEMT) is a transferase enzyme (EC 2.1.1.17) which converts phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the liver. In humans it is encoded by the PEMT gene within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.While the CDP-choline pathway, in which choline obtained either by dietary consumption or by metabolism of choline-containing lipids is converted to PC, accounts for approximately 70% of PC biosynthesis in the liver, the PEMT pathway has been shown to have played a critical evolutionary role in providing PC during times of starvation. Furthermore, PC made via PEMT plays a wide range of physiological roles, utilized in choline synthesis, hepatocyte membrane structure, bile secretion, and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion.

PIBF encodes a predicted hydrophilic 757-amino acid alpha-helical protein with an N-terminal signal sequence, a nuclear localization signal, a leucine zipper motif, a basic zipper sequence, a PEST sequence, an endoplasmic reticulum membrane retention signal, and several potential N-glycosylation and phosphorylation sites. Immunoblot analysis, immunocytochemistry, and fluorescence microscopy of insulin-treated mammary carcinoma cells detected expression of a 34-kD secreted protein in cytoplasmic granules. In untreated cells, nucleus-associated expression of the full-length 90-kD protein was detected.PIBF1 contains 758 amino acids. multiple PIBF1 transcripts expressed at highest levels in testis. Moderate expression was detected in spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, small intestine, and colon.

This gene encodes the alpha subunit of transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is a heterodimer composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. HIF-1 functions as a master regulator of cellular and systemic homeostatic response to hypoxia by activating transcription of many genes, including those involved in energy metabolism, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. HIF-1 thus plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease.

Carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein produced by colorectal cancer tissue. It is widely distributed in endoembryo-derived cancer of the digestive system, in the digestive canal tissues of normal embryos, and in a small amount in normal human serum. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a broad-spectrum tumor marker, which can reflect the existence of a variety of tumors. It is a good tumor marker for the judgment of efficacy, disease development, monitoring and prognosis of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer, but its specificity and sensitivity are not high, and its role in early diagnosis of tumors is not obvious.

SORCS2 encodes one family member of vacuolar protein sorting 10 (VPS10) domain-containing receptor proteins. The VPS10 domain name comes from the yeast carboxypeptidase Y sorting receptor Vps10 protein. Members of this gene family are large with many exons but the CDS lengths are usually less than 3700 nt. Very large introns typically separate the exons encoding the VPS10 domain; the remaining exons are separated by much smaller-sized introns. These genes are strongly expressed in the central nervous system.

P-selectin is the largest of the known selectins at 140kDa. It contains nine consensus repeats (CR) and extends approximately 40 nm from the endothelial surface. P-selectin is expressed in a-granules of activated platelets and granules of endothelial cells. Within minutes of stimulation of the endothelial cells by inflammatory mediators such as histamine, thrombin, or phorbol esters, P-selectin is surface-expressed. Expression of P-selectin also occurs from the surgical trauma endured during preparation of the tissues for intravital microscopy. The expression is short-lived, reaching its peak after only ten minutes. Additional synthesis of P-selectin is brought about within two hours by cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a).

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) hydrolyze the sn-2 fatty acid acyl ester bond of phosphoglycerides, releasing free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. PLA2G2A belongs to PLA2 group II, which consists of extracellular enzymes with low molecular masses that require calcium ions for catalysis . The deduced protein contains a 20-amino acid signal sequence, followed by a 124-amino acid mature peptide that has a calculated molecular mass of about 14 kD. The protein has characteristics of the type II class of PLA2s, including conserved catalytic residues and a Ca(2+)-binding loop. Northern blot analysis detected a 0.8-kb transcript in inflamed human synovial tissue and in peritoneal exudate cells from a peritonitis patient, but not in 2 activated human promyelocytic cell lines.
