Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| TARDBP | TAR DNA-binding protein 43 | RNA-binding protein that is involved in various steps of RNA biogenesis and processing. |
| SOD1 | Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] | Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. |
| TUBA4A | Tubulin alpha-4A chain | Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. |
| OPTN | Optineurin | Plays an important role in the maintenance of the Golgi complex, in membrane trafficking, in exocytosis, through its interaction with myosin VI and Rab8. |
| ERBB4 | Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 | Tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role as cell surface receptor for neuregulins and EGF family members and regulates development of the heart, the central nervous system and the mammary gland, gene transcription, cell prolife… |
| GRN | Progranulin | Secreted protein that acts as a key regulator of lysosomal function and as a growth factor involved in inflammation, wound healing and cell proliferation. |
| ANG | Angiogenin | Secreted ribonuclease that can either promote or restrict cell proliferation of target cells, depending on the context. |
| MASP2 | Mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2 | Precursor of a serum protease that activates the lectin pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 8; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
30 approved/phased compounds have measured bioactivity against a cohort gene (and aren’t yet in disease-level trials). This is a research / tractability signal, NOT a therapeutic recommendation — a bioactivity row often reflects off-target or screening binding (e.g. promiscuous kinase inhibitors against a cohort kinase), implying no disease mechanism.
