OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein containing multiple ankyrin repeats. Ankyrin domains function in protein-protein interactions in a variety of cellular processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ANKRD46 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 ANKRD46 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ANKRD46 could matter depends on whether native ANKRD46 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ANKRD46 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 ANKRD46 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
