OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS-1) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS-1 motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme encoded by this gene contains eight TS-1 motifs. It may play roles in pulmonary cells during fetal development or in tumor processes through its proteolytic activity or as a molecule potentially involved in regulation of cell adhesion.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ADAMTS12 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADAMTS12 could matter depends on whether native ADAMTS12 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADAMTS12 is annotated as secreted, so native ADAMTS12 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ADAMTS12 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
