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

Polyunsaturated 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.
