Core Tip

Core tip: Orosomucoid-like protein 3 (ORMDL3) gene has been identified to have a strong association with childhood asthma. The gene has also been found to link with human rhinovirus (HRV) infection in children. ORMDL3 mediates HRV infection through regulating expression of HRV receptor intercellular adhesion molecule 1, metabolisms of ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, ER-Golgi interface and glycolysis.
