OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the adenylyl cyclase family of proteins, which are required for the synthesis of cyclic AMP. All members of this family have an intracellular N-terminus, a tandem repeat of six transmembrane domains separated by a cytoplasmic loop, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The two cytoplasmic regions bind ATP and form the catalytic core of the protein. Adenylyl cyclases are important effectors of transmembrane signaling pathways and are regulated by the activity of G protein coupled receptor signaling. This protein belongs to a small subclass of adenylyl cyclase proteins that are functionally related and are inhibited by protein kinase A, calcium ions and nitric oxide. A mutation in this gene is associated with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ADCY6 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 ADCY6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADCY6 could matter depends on whether native ADCY6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADCY6 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ADCY6 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ADCY6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
