    The document summarizes two genes: 1) The INS gene on chromosome 11 produces the insulin protein which controls glucose levels in the blood. 2) The VDR gene on chromosome 12 allows the body to respond to vitamin D by encoding the vitamin D receptor protein which regulates mineral balance and the activity of other genes in response to vitamin D levels.

    INSULIN

    gene:

    INS GENE Produces insulin that


    is needed to control
    (PROTEIN CODING) glucose levels in the
    blood.
    Glucose = sugar and main
    energy source for a
    majority of cells!

    chromosome: description:
    chromosome 11 function

    - 4-4.5% of total DNA in cells Insulin is a single chain of protein


    - 135 million DNA building blocks building blocks (amino acids) that
    - 1.3-1.4k genes that make proteins! are cut into different A and B chains.
    Those get connected later on from
    disulfide bonds! 
    VITAMIN D RECEPTOR gene:

    Has instructions to VDR GENE


    create Vitamin D (PROTEIN CODING) It allows the body to
    Receptor Protein. respond to Vitamin
    D. The vitamins are
    from foods and made
    in the body after
    sunlight exposure. It
    can also properly
    balance and control
    specific minerals.
    Key:
    VDR
    RXR
    DNA of
    This also leads to
    regulated
    Calcitriol Binding that
    gene will have Vitamin D
    respond to elements
    while regulating the
    activity of responsive
    genes.

    description: chromosome:
    function chromosome 12

    Vitamin D Receptor is an active form - 4-4.5% of total DNA in cells


    of Vitamin D3 that binds and - 134 million DNA building blocks
    attaches to help get along with - 1.1-1.2k genes that make proteins!
    another protein called Retinoid X
    Receptor.
