Protein recruitment in BD was mainly associated with the immune response, regulation of transport processes through the cell membrane and cellular communication, the development of neurons and oligodendrocytes, and cell growth. Cadherin-5 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 are a marker of endothelial dysfunction. The detection of these proteins suggests the presence of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of BD. The detection of myelin 1 transcription factor and the literature data on the effect of mutations in the MYT1L gene on the risk of major depressive disorder suggest the MYT1 protein as a potential BD biomarker. The results may help to discover new pathways associated BD.

A set of proteins in schizophrenia was mainly associated with responsible for protein synthesis and the processes of transduction and translation; immune response, oxidative stress and apotosis, cell compataminization and cell contacts. In the blood serum of patients in the general group of schizophrenia, a significant increase in the number of RIPK1, mGluR6 receptors was revealed in comparison with healthy people. In addition, the amount of mGluR6 was significantly higher in patients with a simple form of schizophrenia than in patients with a paranoid form (p = 0.021). A quantitative assessment of the specific minor proteins that we studied using labeled standard peptides showed an increase in their number depending on the severity of the disease (a simple form of schizophrenia, leading negative symptoms)
