Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| SMAD4 | SMAD family member 4 | In muscle physiology, plays a central role in the balance between atrophy and hypertrophy. |
| BMPR1A | Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-1A | On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. |
| ENG | Endoglin | Vascular endothelium glycoprotein that plays an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis. |
| SLC12A1 | Solute carrier family 12 member 1 | Renal sodium, potassium and chloride non-electrogenic ion symporter that mediates the transepithelial NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb and plays an essential role in the urinary concentration and volume regulation. |
| LDB3 | LIM domain-binding protein 3 | May function as an adapter in striated muscle to couple protein kinase C-mediated signaling via its LIM domains to the cytoskeleton. |
| ADIRF | Adipogenesis regulatory factor | Plays a role in fat cell development; promotes adipogenic differentiation and stimulates transcription initiation of master adipogenesis factors like PPARG and CEBPA at early stages of preadipocyte differentiation. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 6; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
11 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.
