OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the cytidine deaminase gene family. It is one of a group of related genes found in a cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22. Members of the cluster encode proteins that are structurally and functionally related to the C to U RNA-editing cytidine deaminase APOBEC1 and inhibit retroviruses, such as HIV, by deaminating cytosine residues in nascent retroviral cDNA.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against APOBEC3D can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads APOBEC3D as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against APOBEC3D could matter depends on whether native APOBEC3D is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

APOBEC3D 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 APOBEC3D as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
