Targets — browse / sort / filter (view)

One row per human protein target with names + key evidence. Click column headers to SORT; use the facets to FILTER (tier, activation pair, known aptamer, EV-Map). UniProt IDs link to the source. Default sort is evidence_priority — a DETERMINISTIC, reproducible score computed from harvested evidence (structure / disease / predicted-surface / EV-detection). Filter has_structure=1 for the core set: targets with a reported 3D structure (the requirement the Kd layer is built around).

Data license: CC BY 4.0 · Data source: apt-scout automated curation pipeline (E. Dohi, NCNP) — values harvested from public databases; raw source stored per target

id
UniProt accession (human). Links to uniprot.org.
gene_symbol
Gene symbol (e.g. ITGB3).
protein_name
Protein name (UniProt).
tier
Tier 1 = PDB-anchored; Tier 1.5 = AlphaFold-confident.
has_structure
1 if the target protein has a reported experimental 3D structure (PDB). This is the CORE requirement the aptamer-Kd layer is built around — filter to 1 for the structure-backed set.
evidence_priority
DETERMINISTIC, reproducible prioritisation (0-1) computed at build time from real harvested columns: 0.35*experimental-structure(PDB=1 / AlphaFold-only=0.3) + 0.30*Open-Targets-top-disease-score + 0.20*PREDICTED-surface-accessibility(A_surface=1) + 0.15*EV-detection(EV-Map). A transparent ranking AID, not a validation; the surface/EV terms are PREDICTIONS/DETECTIONS, not measured EV-surface exposure. Recomputable exactly from this DB.
has_activation_state_pdb_pair
1 if a curated ACTIVE/INACTIVE PDB pair exists (only 11 targets).
in_cev_map
Detected in the EV-Map plasma-EV dataset (Rai & Greening 2025, Nat Cell Biol, 10.1038/s41556-025-01795-7) = 3,422 apt-scout targets (broad detected proteome). The EV-Map CONSERVED EV proteome is 182 proteins (42 non-EV); apt-scout matches 104 of these conserved EV-hallmark proteins as targets by gene (the other 78 are not apt-scout targets). Use the ev_hallmark_targets query for that subset. IMPORTANT: EV-Map detection means the protein is EV CARGO (present in the vesicle) — it does NOT mean surface-exposed. Rai & Greening 2025 run a separate membrane-impermeant biotinylation assay giving a 151-protein SURFACEOME, and show the conserved SDCBP/syntenin is luminal (not surface-accessible). For genuine EV-surface accessibility use that 151-protein set, not EV-Map presence.
has_known_aptamer
1 if PubMed '(gene) AND (aptamer OR SELEX)' returned any hit (KEYWORD co-mention, includes false positives — NOT a verified aptamer). For verified aptamers with Kd, see the Binding-affinities (v_kd) layer.
opentargets_top_disease_score
Open Targets association score (0-1).
aptamer_count_pubmed
Number of PubMed hits for (this protein) AND (aptamer OR SELEX). Keyword co-occurrence — verify each (many co-mention without a real aptamer).
aptamer_pmids
The actual PubMed IDs behind the aptamer evidence — click each to read the paper. This is the source of the 'has aptamer' claim.
surface_class
PREDICTED membrane topology (HPA-derived, not a measurement): A_surface = integral/ecto cell-surface (predicted EV-surface accessible); A2_pm_peripheral = plasma-membrane cytoplasmic-leaflet (SRC/LYN/RHOA, predicted not reachable); A_assoc = secreted/corona; B_cargo = luminal cargo; unknown = no HPA localization. Lipid asymmetry can partially flip (PS via scramblase); confirm by protease-protection / intact-EV surface labelling. See v_surface_targets.
