GtoPdb Disease Summaries - Targets

Click on the target name to link to its detailed view page

Where available, information is display on the role of the target in the disease; drugs which target the disease and their therapeutic use and side-effects.

If there is mutation data curated in GtoPdb this is indicated, with a link back to the appropriate section on the target detailed view page

Immuno ligand interactions - If available, a table of immuno-relevant ligands is shown. These ligands have been curated as having an association to the disease and possess interaction data with the target in GtoPdb. The approval status of the ligand is shown, along with curator comments and an indication of whether the target is considered the primary target of the ligand.

Ligand References Clinical and Disease comments
GSK583
Immuno Disease Comments: Experimental compound with predicted application in sarcoidosis.
Bioactivity Comments: A kinome scan shows that at 1µM GSK583 is selective for RIP2 kinase in the panel of 300 kinases tested [2]. GSK583 is effective in cellular asays assessing its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine release in response to NOD2 pathway actvation by muramyldipeptide (MDP). | View biological activity
deflazacort
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved corticosteroid that can be prescribed for sarcoidosis.
Clinical Use: Deflazacort can be prescribed for many inflammatory conditions including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, juvenile chronic arthritis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, polymyalgia rheumatica, systemic lupus erythematosus and ulcerative colitis. More recently approved by the FDA as a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy [1]. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: In vitro binding to rat kidney, thymus and liver glucocorticoid receptors is reported in [3]. | View biological activity
