MGAT52.4.1.155alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase

Cohort genes with high screening signal

≥100 ChEMBL assays — a studied-ness signal; see Therapeutics for approved-drug status.

SymbolChEMBL assays
IKZF3101

Pharmacogenomics

Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 12; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 1.

Drug repurposing candidates

5 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.
