As of 2026-09-12

Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by benign prostatic hyperplasia. 5 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 P35348. Start with benign prostatic hyperplasia, then reuse UniProt P35348 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
benign prostatic hyperplasia

Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by benign prostatic hyperplasia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with benign prostatic hyperplasia because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include SILODOSIN. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
