OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the histidine acid phosphatase protein family. The encoded protein hydrolyzes lysophosphatidic acid, which is involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling, lipid raft modulation, and in balancing lipid composition within the cell. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ACP6 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 ACP6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ACP6 could matter depends on whether native ACP6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ACP6 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 ACP6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
