As of 2026-09-13Polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX12 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by rheumatic disease. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P18054. Start with rheumatic disease, then reuse UniProt P18054 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.
Polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX12 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by rheumatic disease. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.
Start review with rheumatic disease because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include BENOXAPROFEN. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
