OverviewNCBI Gene

A cluster of genes, BAT1-BAT5, has been localized in the vicinity of the genes for tumor necrosis factor alpha and tumor necrosis factor beta. These genes are all within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be involved in some aspects of immunity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ABHD16A can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ABHD16A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ABHD16A could matter depends on whether native ABHD16A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ABHD16A 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 ABHD16A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
