Structured disease, protein, and project context should read before the lower-level identity rail.

As of 2026-09-14

Angiotensin-converting enzyme shows approved-linked disease relevance led by hypertension. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 14 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P12821. Start with hypertension, then reuse UniProt P12821 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
hypertension

Angiotensin-converting enzyme shows approved-linked disease relevance led by hypertension. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 14 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with hypertension because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE, CAPTOPRIL, DELAPRIL, ENALAPRIL MALEATE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
