As of 2026-09-14

Neuropeptide Y receptor type 4 shows clinical signal disease relevance led by obesity. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P50391. Start with obesity, then reuse UniProt P50391 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Neuropeptide Y receptor type 4 shows clinical signal disease relevance led by obesity. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with obesity because it currently carries clinical signal support. Linked drugs include TM30339. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
