Bioactivity and enzyme data
Enzyme cohort genes (≥1 EC): 2.
Cohort genes with ChEMBL bioactivity (full, sorted by assay count)
| Symbol | Assays | Type breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| PDGFRB | 1,237 | Binding:1213, Functional:16, ADMET:8 |
| CHRNA6 | 34 | Binding:33, ADMET:1 |
| PDGFB | 3 | Binding:3 |
| SLC20A2 | 1 | Binding:1 |
| DUOX2 | 1 | Binding:1 |
Cohort enzymes (BRENDA EC)
| Symbol | EC numbers | Names |
|---|---|---|
| DUOX2 | 1.6.3.1 | NAD(P)H oxidase (H2O2-forming) |
| PDGFRB | 2.7.10.1 | receptor protein-tyrosine kinase |
Cohort genes with high screening signal
≥100 ChEMBL assays — a studied-ness signal; see Therapeutics for approved-drug status.
| Symbol | ChEMBL assays |

| PDGFRB | 1,237 |
Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 7; 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.
