Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|
| SLC22A4 | Solute carrier family 22 member 4 | Transporter that mediates the transport of endogenous and microbial zwitterions and organic cations. |
| MYRF | Myelin regulatory factor | Constitutes a precursor of the transcription factor. |
| BACH2 | Transcription regulator protein BACH2 | Transcriptional regulator that acts as a repressor or activator. |
| CYP2S1 | Cytochrome P450 2S1 | A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of retinoids and eicosanoids. |
| IL33 | Interleukin-33 | Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells. |
| CFTR | Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator | Epithelial ion channel that plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial ion and water transport and fluid homeostasis. |
| TSLP | Thymic stromal lymphopoietin | Cytokine that induces the release of T-cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and, in particular, enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. |
| FOXP1 | Forkhead box protein P1 | Transcriptional repressor. |
| GATA3 | Trans-acting T-cell-specific transcription factor GATA-3 | Transcriptional activator which binds to the enhancer of the T-cell receptor alpha and delta genes. |
| ALOX15 | Polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX15 | Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. |
| GPX4 | Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase GPX4 | Essential antioxidant peroxidase that directly reduces phospholipid hydroperoxide even if they are incorporated in membranes and lipoproteins. |
| HLA-B | HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, B alpha chain | Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule. |
| HLA-DQA1 | HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ alpha 1 chain | Binds 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. |
| IL18R1 | Interleukin-18 receptor 1 | Within the IL18 receptor complex, responsible for the binding of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL18, but not IL1A nor IL1B. |
| IL1RL1 | Interleukin-1 receptor-like 1 | Receptor 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. |

Pathway analysis
Distinct Reactome pathways touched by cohort: 72. Enrichment computed across 15 evidence-associated genes (13 with Reactome annotation).
Pathways by enrichment
Over-representation of cohort genes vs the genome-wide background (hypergeometric test, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR; fold = observed/expected over 13 annotated cohort genes). Counts and members are kept as ground-truth; sorted by enrichment.

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.
