OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the ALG3 family. The encoded protein catalyses the addition of the first dol-P-Man derived mannose in an alpha 1,3 linkage to Man5GlcNAc2-PP-Dol. Defects in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Id (CDG-Id) characterized by abnormal N-glycosylation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ALG3 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 ALG3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ALG3 could matter depends on whether native ALG3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ALG3 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 ALG3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
