Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| RGS6 | Regulator of G-protein signaling 6 | Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades. |
| RPS6KA1 | Ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-1 | Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts downstream of ERK (MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1) signaling and mediates mitogenic and stress-induced activation of the transcription factors CREB1, ETV1/ER81 and NR4A1/NUR77, regulates translation thr… |
| RYR3 | Ryanodine receptor 3 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm in muscle and thereby plays a role in triggering muscle contraction. |
| SDC1 | Syndecan-1 | Cell surface proteoglycan that contains both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate and that links the cytoskeleton to the interstitial matrix. |
| BMPR1B | Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-1B | On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. |
| SLC10A2 | Ileal sodium/bile acid cotransporter | Plays a critical role in the sodium-dependent reabsorption of bile acids from the lumen of the small intestine. |
| SLCO2A1 | Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 | Mediates the transport of prostaglandins (PGs, mainly PGE2, PGE1, PGE3, PGF2alpha, PGD2, PGH2) and thromboxanes (thromboxane B2) across the cell membrane. |
| SLC25A12 | Electrogenic aspartate/glutamate antiporter SLC25A12, mitochondrial | Mitochondrial electrogenic aspartate/glutamate antiporter that favors efflux of aspartate and entry of glutamate and proton within the mitochondria as part of the malate-aspartate shuttle. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 75; 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.
