Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|
| POC5 | Centrosomal protein POC5 | Essential for the assembly of the distal half of centrioles, required for centriole elongation. |
| RYR1 | Ryanodine receptor 1 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol and thereby plays a key role in triggering muscle contraction following depolarization of T-tubules. |
| SLC9A6 | Sodium/hydrogen exchanger 6 | Endosomal Na(+), K(+)/H(+) antiporter. |
| TBX6 | T-box transcription factor TBX6 | T-box transcription factor that plays an essential role in the determination of the fate of axial stem cells: neural vs mesodermal. |
| NSDHL | Sterol-4-alpha-carboxylate 3-dehydrogenase, decarboxylating | Catalyzes the NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of the C4 methyl groups of 4-alpha-carboxysterols in post-squalene cholesterol biosynthesis. |
| ADGRG6 | Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor G6 | Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR) for steroid hormones, such as progesterone and 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP). |
| NSD1 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-36 specific | Histone methyltransferase that dimethylates Lys-36 of histone H3 (H3K36me2). |
| KIF1B | Kinesin-like protein KIF1B | Has a plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and functions as a motor for transport of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. |
| LBX1 | Transcription factor LBX1 | Transcription factor required for the development of GABAergic interneurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and migration and further development of hypaxial muscle precursor cells for limb muscles, diaphragm and hypoglossal cord. |
| CHRNG | Acetylcholine receptor subunit gamma | After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. |

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.
