As of 2026-09-14

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor; alpha6/beta2 shows clinical signal disease relevance led by Alzheimer disease. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P17787. Start with Alzheimer disease, then reuse UniProt P17787 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Alzheimer disease

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor; alpha6/beta2 shows clinical signal disease relevance led by Alzheimer disease. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with Alzheimer disease because it currently carries clinical signal support. Linked drugs include POZANICLINE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
