Frame the target before identity details

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

As of 2026-09-14

Ceramide glucosyltransferase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Gaucher disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 3 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q16739. Start with Gaucher disease, then reuse UniProt Q16739 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
Gaucher disease

Ceramide glucosyltransferase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Gaucher disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 3 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with Gaucher disease because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ELIGLUSTAT TARTRATE, MIGLUSTAT, VENGLUSTAT. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
