Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|
| SS18 | Protein SSXT | Appears to function synergistically with RBM14 as a transcriptional coactivator. |
| TAF4B | Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 4B | Cell type-specific subunit of the general transcription factor TFIID that may function as a gene-selective coactivator in certain cells. |
| GFUS | GDP-L-fucose synthase | Catalyzes the two-step NADP-dependent conversion of GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose to GDP-fucose, involving an epimerase and a reductase reaction. |
| PRUNE1 | Exopolyphosphatase PRUNE1 | Phosphodiesterase (PDE) that has higher activity toward cAMP than cGMP, as substrate. |
| CERS2 | Ceramide synthase 2 | Ceramide synthase that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward very-long-chain fatty acyl-CoA (chain length C22-C27). |
| ADAMTSL4 | ADAMTS-like protein 4 | Positive regulation of apoptosis. |
| PSMA8 | Proteasome subunit alpha-type 8 | Component of the spermatoproteasome, a proteasome specifically found in testis that promotes acetylation-dependent degradation of histones, thereby participating actively to the exchange of histones during spermatogenesis. |
| FAT3 | Protocadherin Fat 3 | May play a role in the interactions between neurites derived from specific subsets of neurons during development. |
| GOLPH3L | Golgi phosphoprotein 3-like | Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-binding protein that may antagonize the action of GOLPH3 which is required for the process of vesicle budding at the Golgi and anterograde transport to the plasma membrane. |
| HORMAD1 | HORMA domain-containing protein 1 | Plays a key role in meiotic progression. |
| CTSK | Cathepsin K | Thiol protease involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. |
| CTSS | Cathepsin S | Thiol protease. |
| MINDY1 | Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase MINDY-1 | Hydrolase that can specifically remove ‘Lys-48’-linked conjugated ubiquitin from proteins. |
| PYCR3 | Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 3 | Oxidoreductase that catalyzes the last step in proline biosynthesis, which corresponds to the reduction of pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to L-proline using NAD(P)H. |
| ENSA | Alpha-endosulfine | Protein phosphatase inhibitor that specifically inhibits protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) during mitosis. |
| ANXA9 | Annexin A9 | Plays a role in epidermal differentiation. |
| LDB2 | LIM domain-binding protein 2 | Transcription cofactor. |
| MCL1 | Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 | Involved in the regulation of apoptosis versus cell survival, and in the maintenance of viability but not of proliferation. |
| ARNT | Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator | Required for activity of the AHR. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 19; 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.
