Den ASPM gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in cell division. This protein is found in cells and tissues throughout the body; however, it appears to be particularly important for the division of cells in the developing brain. Studies suggest that the ASPM protein helps maintain the orderly division of early brain cells called neural progenitor cells, which ultimately give rise to mature nerve cells (neurons). By promoting the division of neural progenitor cells during early brain development, the ASPM protein helps determine the total number of neurons and the overall size of the brain.

Blodproppstester
Blodproppstester är used to diagnose and assess bleeding problems and to monitor people who take warfarin or other anticoagulant medicines. You may be advised to have blood clotting tests: If you have a suspected bleeding disorder. For example, if you bleed a lot after cuts, or if you bruise easily. If you have certain liver diseases that can.

Antikoagulantia
Our blodet has a complex system of chemicals in it, which, when activated, cause blodproppar till form. This is normally a good thing; it's activated if we have an injury, like a bleeding wound. The clotting cascade causes a clot to form, stopping the bleeding. So, blocking vitamin K stops the clotting cascade from working as well. It usually takes.
