Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| RYR1 | Ryanodine receptor 1 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol and thereby plays a key role in triggering muscle contraction following depolarization of T-tubules. |
| ACTN2 | Alpha-actinin-2 | F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. |
| CLN8 | Protein CLN8 | Could play a role in cell proliferation during neuronal differentiation and in protection against cell death. |
| ANTXR2 | Anthrax toxin receptor 2 | Necessary for cellular interactions with laminin and the extracellular matrix. |
| CRX | Cone-rod homeobox protein | Transcription factor that binds and transactivates the sequence 5’-TAATC[CA]-3’ which is found upstream of several photoreceptor-specific genes, including the opsin genes. |
| CYB5R3 | NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase 3 | Catalyzes the reduction of two molecules of cytochrome b5 using NADH as the electron donor. |
| MEFV | Pyrin | Involved in the regulation of innate immunity and the inflammatory response in response to IFNG/IFN-gamma. |
| PPT1 | Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 | Has thioesterase activity against fatty acid thioesters with 14 -18 carbons, including palmitoyl-CoA, S-palmitoyl-N-acetylcysteamine, and palmitoylated proteins. |

Chemical tractability of cohort targets
0 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.
Druggability pyramid
Cohort genes binned by druggability tier (high → low):
