The SUOX gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme sulfite oxidase. This enzyme helps break down amino acids containing sulfur that your body no longer needs. It does this by facilitating the conversion of sulfite to sulfate.

The MAO A gene gives your body instructions on how to make an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A (Mao A). This enzyme helps breakdown certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

The VDR gene gives your body instructions on how to make a protein called vitamin D receptor (VDR). These receptors allow your body to respond to vitamin D.

The SHMT gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase.

The MTR gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme methionine synthase.

The ACAT gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme acetyl coenzyme A acetyltransferase (ACAT).

The BHMT gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme betaine homocysteine methyltransferase.

The AHCY gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase.

The MTHFR gene gives your body instructions on how to make the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). This enzyme is involved in processing amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
