Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| TNNT3 | Troponin T, fast skeletal muscle | Troponin T is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of troponin, the thin filament regulatory complex which confers calcium-sensitivity to striated muscle actomyosin ATPase activity. |
| TTN | Titin | Key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. |
| CACNA1S | Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1S | Pore-forming, alpha-1S subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel that gives rise to L-type calcium currents in skeletal muscle. |
| COL6A6 | Collagen alpha-6(VI) chain | Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein. |
| FXR1 | RNA-binding protein FXR1 | mRNA-binding protein that acts as a regulator of mRNAs translation and/or stability, and which is required for various processes, such as neurogenesis, muscle development and spermatogenesis. |
| RYR3 | Ryanodine receptor 3 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm in muscle and thereby plays a role in triggering muscle contraction. |
| SCN4A | Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha | Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.4, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. |
| TPM2 | Tropomyosin beta chain | Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. |
| 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. |
| DNAJB4 | DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 4 | Probable chaperone. |
| GNE | Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase | Bifunctional enzyme that possesses both UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine kinase activities, and serves as the initiator of the biosynthetic pathway leading to the production of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a… |
| HACD1 | Very-long-chain (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 1 | Catalyzes the third of the four reactions of the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. |
| 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. |
| SRPK3 | SRSF protein kinase 3 | Serine/arginine-rich protein-specific kinase which specifically phosphorylates its substrates at serine residues located in regions rich in arginine/serine dipeptides, known as RS domains. |
| SYT2 | Synaptotagmin-2 | Exhibits calcium-dependent phospholipid and inositol polyphosphate binding properties. |
| USP9X | Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 9X | Deubiquitinase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. |
| ACTA1 | Actin, alpha skeletal muscle | Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. |
| JPH1 | Junctophilin-1 | Junctophilins contribute to the formation of junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) which link the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum in excitable cells. |
| CBS | Cystathionine beta-synthase | Hydro-lyase catalyzing the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, where the hydroxyl group of L-serine is displaced by L-homocysteine in a beta-replacement reaction to form L-cystathionine, the precursor of L-cysteine. |

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.
