Cohort function summary

Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.

SymbolProtein nameFunction (lead sentence)
PLCE11-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase epsilon-1The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes.
COL4A4Collagen alpha-4(IV) chainType IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a ‘chicken-wire’ meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen.
INF2Inverted formin-2Severs actin filaments and accelerates their polymerization and depolymerization.
APOL1Apolipoprotein L1May play a role in lipid exchange and transport throughout the body.
LAMB2Laminin subunit beta-2Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components.
MYH9Myosin-9Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping.
NPHS1NephrinSeems to play a role in the development or function of the kidney glomerular filtration barrier.

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

1 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.
