Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| BAG3 | BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 | Co-chaperone and adapter protein that connects different classes of molecular chaperones including heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s), e.g. |
| FIG4 | Polyphosphoinositide phosphatase | Dual specificity phosphatase component of the PI(3,5)P2 regulatory complex which regulates both the synthesis and turnover of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2). |
| BICD2 | Protein bicaudal D homolog 2 | Acts as an adapter protein linking the dynein motor complex to various cargos and converts dynein from a non-processive to a highly processive motor in the presence of dynactin. |
| TRPV4 | Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 | Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in osmotic sensitivity and mechanosensitivity. |
| MORC2 | ATPase MORC2 | ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler essential for epigenetic silencing by the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex. |
| DYNC1H1 | Cytoplasmic dynein 1 heavy chain 1 | Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. |
| GARS1 | Glycine–tRNA ligase | Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3’-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP). |
| SETX | Helicase senataxin | ATP-dependent 5’->3’ DNA/RNA helicase that preferentially unwinds RNA substrates over DNA, playing a crucial role in resolving R-loops and promoting transcription termination. |
| IGHMBP2 | DNA-binding protein SMUBP-2 | 5’ to 3’ helicase that unwinds RNA and DNA duplexes in an ATP-dependent reaction. |
| LMNA | Prelamin-A/C | Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a filamentous meshwork, and which constitute the major components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane. |
| NEFL | Neurofilament light polypeptide | Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: NEFL, NEFM, and NEFH which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. |

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