Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| CHRNE | Acetylcholine receptor subunit epsilon | After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. |
| CHAT | Choline O-acetyltransferase | Catalyzes the reversible synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) from acetyl CoA and choline at cholinergic synapses. |
| CHRNB1 | Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta | After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. |
| GFPT1 | Glutamine–fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase [isomerizing] 1 | Rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) that catalyzes the formation of glucosamine-6-phosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and glutamine, thereby controlling the flux of glucose into this pathway. |
| ASL | Argininosuccinate lyase | Catalyzes the reversible cleavage of L-argininosuccinate to fumarate and L-arginine, an intermediate step reaction in the urea cycle mostly providing for hepatic nitrogen detoxification into excretable urea as well as de novo L-arginine sy… |
| MUSK | Muscle, skeletal receptor tyrosine-protein kinase | Receptor tyrosine kinase which plays a central role in the formation and the maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the synapse between the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle. |
| RAPSN | 43 kDa receptor-associated protein of the synapse | Postsynaptic protein required for clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. |

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.
