Cohort function summary

Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.

SymbolProtein nameFunction (lead sentence)
SLC22A4Solute carrier family 22 member 4Transporter that mediates the transport of endogenous and microbial zwitterions and organic cations.
MYRFMyelin regulatory factorConstitutes a precursor of the transcription factor.
BACH2Transcription regulator protein BACH2Transcriptional regulator that acts as a repressor or activator.
CYP2S1Cytochrome P450 2S1A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of retinoids and eicosanoids.
IL33Interleukin-33Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells.
CFTRCystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulatorEpithelial ion channel that plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial ion and water transport and fluid homeostasis.
TSLPThymic stromal lymphopoietinCytokine that induces the release of T-cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and, in particular, enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells.
FOXP1Forkhead box protein P1Transcriptional repressor.
GATA3Trans-acting T-cell-specific transcription factor GATA-3Transcriptional activator which binds to the enhancer of the T-cell receptor alpha and delta genes.
ALOX15Polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX15Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators.
GPX4Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase GPX4Essential antioxidant peroxidase that directly reduces phospholipid hydroperoxide even if they are incorporated in membranes and lipoproteins.
HLA-BHLA class I histocompatibility antigen, B alpha chainAntigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule.
HLA-DQA1HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ alpha 1 chainBinds peptides derived from antigens that access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells (APC) and presents them on the cell surface for recognition by the CD4 T-cells.
IL18R1Interleukin-18 receptor 1Within the IL18 receptor complex, responsible for the binding of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL18, but not IL1A nor IL1B.
IL1RL1Interleukin-1 receptor-like 1Receptor for interleukin-33 (IL-33) which plays crucial roles in innate and adaptive immunity, contributing to tissue homeostasis and responses to environmental stresses together with coreceptor IL1RAP.

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.
