Structured disease, protein, and project context should read before the lower-level identity rail.

As of 2026-09-13

Melanocyte protein PMEL shows approved-linked disease relevance led by melanoma. 3 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 P40967. Start with melanoma, then reuse UniProt P40967 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Melanocyte protein PMEL shows approved-linked disease relevance led by melanoma. 3 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

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