OverviewNCBI Gene

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This family member functions in the translocation of peptides from the cytosol into the lysosomal lumen. Alternative splicing of this gene results in distinct isoforms which are likely to have different substrate specificities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ABCB9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ABCB9 could matter depends on whether native ABCB9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ABCB9 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ABCB9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
