CHEMBL2072 Target Snapshot

Broader Open DB context

Frame the target before identity details

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

As of 2026-09-13

Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha shows approved-linked disease relevance led by pain. 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 P35499. Start with pain, then reuse UniProt P35499 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program

pain

Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha shows approved-linked disease relevance led by pain. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 3 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

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