| C3 | Complement C3 | Precursor of non-enzymatic components of the classical, alternative, lectin and GZMK complement pathways, which consist in a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adapt… |
| ABCG5 | ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 5 | ABCG5 and ABCG8 form an obligate heterodimer that mediates Mg(2+)- and ATP-dependent sterol transport across the cell membrane. |
| PLEKHG3 | Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family G member 3 | Plays a role in controlling cell polarity and cell motility by selectively binding newly polymerized actin and activating RAC1 and CDC42 to enhance local actin polymerization. |
| PIEZO1 | Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 | Pore-forming subunit of the mechanosensitive non-specific cation Piezo channel required for rapidly adapting mechanically activated (MA) currents and has a key role in sensing touch and tactile pain. |
| G6PD | Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase | Catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway, which represents a route for the dissimilation of carbohydrates besides glycolysis. |
| CD46 | Membrane cofactor protein | Acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. |

Drug target analysis
Approved (phase 4): 1 · Phase ≥3: 1 · Phased (≥1): 1 · Undrugged: 7
Druggability breadth: 4 of 8 evidence-associated genes (50%) have a ChEMBL target (buckets above are over the deeply-mined display cohort).
Genes with an approved drug
The molecule shown is one approved compound that hits the gene — not necessarily a drug of choice or one indicated for this disease.

Chemical tractability of cohort targets
8 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.
