Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|
| CNNM1 | Metal transporter CNNM1 | Probable metal transporter. |
| ATXN2 | Ataxin-2 | Involved in EGFR trafficking, acting as negative regulator of endocytic EGFR internalization at the plasma membrane. |
| SORT1 | Sortilin | Functions as a sorting receptor in the Golgi compartment and as a clearance receptor on the cell surface. |
| TCF7L2 | Transcription factor 7-like 2 | Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. |
| UTRN | Utrophin | May play a role in anchoring the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. |
| WWOX | WW domain-containing oxidoreductase | Putative oxidoreductase. |
| HDAC9 | Histone deacetylase 9 | Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). |
| SYTL3 | Synaptotagmin-like protein 3 | May act as Rab effector protein and play a role in vesicle trafficking. |

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.
