Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| RYR2 | Ryanodine receptor 2 | 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 cardiac muscle contraction. |
| SCN1B | Sodium channel regulatory subunit beta-1 | Regulatory subunit of multiple voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels directly mediating the depolarization of excitable membranes. |
| SCN5A | Sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha | Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.5, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. |
| SNTA1 | Alpha-1-syntrophin | Adapter protein that binds to and probably organizes the subcellular localization of a variety of membrane proteins. |
| TTN | Titin | Key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. |
| CACNA2D1 | Voltage-dependent calcium channel subunit alpha-2/delta-1 | The alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel. |
| CACNB2 | Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit beta-2 | Beta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels which contributes to the function of the calcium channel by increasing peak calcium current. |
| ACTN2 | Alpha-actinin-2 | F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. |
| TRPM4 | Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4 | Calcium-activated selective cation channel that mediates membrane depolarization. |

| GAA | Lysosomal alpha-glucosidase | Essential for the degradation of glycogen in lysosomes. |
| ANK2 | Ankyrin-2 | Plays an essential role in the localization and membrane stabilization of ion transporters and ion channels in several cell types, including cardiomyocytes, as well as in striated muscle cells. |
| KCNE3 | Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 3 | Ancillary protein that functions as a regulatory subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel complex composed of pore-forming and potassium-conducting alpha subunits and of regulatory beta subunits. |
| KCNJ2 | Inward rectifier potassium channel 2 | Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. |
| KCNQ1 | Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1 | Pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel involved in the regulation of cardiomyocyte excitability and important in normal development and functions of myocardium, inner ear, stomach and colon. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 20; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
28 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.
