TABLE 1.
Protein ID | Name | Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) relative function |
MMP9 | Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 | Proteolytic activity on the extracellular matrix (ECM) and involved in leukocyte migration |
RETN | Resistin | Promotes chemotaxis in myeloid cells |
CTSS | Cathepsin S | Endo protease involved in the removal of unwanted proteins |
S100A9 | S100 Calcium Binding Protein A9 | Potent amplifier of inflammation as well as in cancer development and tumor spread |
NCF2 | Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 2 | Involved in superoxide generation |
MPO | Myeloperoxidase | Produce hypochlorous acid and other toxic intermediates which enhance PMN microbicidal activity |
ALB | Albumin | Regulates blood plasma colloid osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein for hormones, fatty acids, metabolites, and exogenous drugs |
BECN1 | Beclin 1 | Mediates vesicle-trafficking processes, tumorigenesis, neurodegeneration, and apoptosis |
TP53 | Tumor Protein P53 | Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression |
GRB2 | Growth Factor Receptor Bound Protein 2 | Adapter protein involved in the Ras signaling pathway |
