OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the APBB protein family. It is found in the cytoplasm and binds to the intracellular domain of the Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) as well as to other APP-like proteins. It is thought that the protein encoded by this gene may modulate the internalization of APP. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against APBB3 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 APBB3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against APBB3 could matter depends on whether native APBB3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

APBB3 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 APBB3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
