BRCA1Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility proteinE3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that specifically mediates the formation of ‘Lys-6’-linked polyubiquitin chains and plays a central role in DNA repair by facilitating cellular responses to DNA damage.
BRCA2Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility proteinInvolved in double-strand break repair and/or homologous recombination.
CDKN2ACyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2AActs as a negative regulator of the proliferation of normal cells by interacting strongly with CDK4 and CDK6.
ERBB2Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2Protein tyrosine kinase that is part of several cell surface receptor complexes, but that apparently needs a coreceptor for ligand binding.
AKT1RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinaseAKT1 is one of 3 closely related serine/threonine-protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinase, and which regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis.
PIK3CAPhosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha isoformPhosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol (PI) and its phosphorylated derivatives at position 3 of the inositol ring to produce 3-phosphoinositides.

Drug repurposing candidates

30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
