Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| SARS1 | Serine–tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic | Catalyzes the attachment of serine to tRNA(Ser) in a two-step reaction: serine is first activated by ATP to form Ser-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ser). |
| SCN9A | Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha | Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.7, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. |
| ARHGEF10 | Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 10 | May play a role in developmental myelination of peripheral nerves. |
| BANF1 | Barrier-to-autointegration factor | Non-specific DNA-binding protein that plays key roles in mitotic nuclear reassembly, chromatin organization, DNA damage response, gene expression and intrinsic immunity against foreign DNA. |
| PLEKHG5 | Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family G member 5 | Functions as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) for RAB26 and thus regulates autophagy of synaptic vesicles in axon terminal of motoneurons. |
| KBTBD13 | Kelch repeat and BTB domain-containing protein 13 | Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. |
| TRPA1 | Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 | Ligand-activated Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channel involved in pain detection and possibly also in cold perception, oxygen concentration perception, cough, itch, and inner ear function. |
| IGHMBP2 | DNA-binding protein SMUBP-2 | 5’ to 3’ helicase that unwinds RNA and DNA duplexes in an ATP-dependent reaction. |
| HSPB1 | Heat shock protein beta-1 | Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding-competent state. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 10; 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.
