Frame the target before identity details

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

As of 2026-09-14

Hepcidin shows clinical signal disease relevance led by anemia (phenotype). 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P81172. Start with anemia (phenotype), then reuse UniProt P81172 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

anemia (phenotype)

Hepcidin shows clinical signal disease relevance led by anemia (phenotype). 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with anemia (phenotype) because it currently carries clinical signal support. Linked drugs include LY-2787106. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
