Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| CYP7B1 | Cytochrome P450 7B1 | A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of endogenous oxysterols and steroid hormones, including neurosteroids. |
| MCOLN1 | Mucolipin-1 | Nonselective cation channel probably playing a role in the regulation of membrane trafficking events and of metal homeostasis. |
| REEP2 | Receptor expression-enhancing protein 2 | Required for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network formation, shaping and remodeling. |
| GBA2 | Non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase | Non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosylceramides/GlcCers (such as beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1’)-N-acylsphing-4-enine) to free glucose and ceramides (such as N-acylsphing-4-enine). |
| CYP2U1 | Cytochrome P450 2U1 | A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and its conjugates. |

Drug target analysis
Approved (phase 4): 2 · Phase ≥3: 2 · Phased (≥1): 2 · Undrugged: 5
Druggability breadth: 5 of 7 evidence-associated genes (71%) 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.

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
7 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.
| Compound | Max phase | Cohort target (bioactivity) |
|---|---|---|
| MIGLUSTAT | 4 | GBA2 |
| MIGALASTAT | 4 | GBA2 |
| PAZOPANIB | 4 | CYP2U1 |
