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

Autotaxin shows late clinical disease relevance led by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 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 Q13822. Start with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, then reuse UniProt Q13822 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Autotaxin shows late clinical disease relevance led by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

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