OverviewNCBI Gene

Interaction of a cell with the extracellular matrix triggers integrin cell surface receptors to begin signaling cascades that regulate the organization of the actin-cytoskeleton. One of the proteins involved in these cascades is focal adhesion kinase. The protein encoded by this gene is a GTPase activating protein that binds to focal adhesion kinase and mediates the activity of the GTP binding proteins RhoA and Cdc42. Defects in this gene are a cause of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ARHGAP26 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Four sources answering four different questions about ARHGAP26.

Disease | AllUniProt

Conditions ARHGAP26 is implicated in, by any mechanism.

Disease | AutoantibodyPubMed

Conditions in which antibodies against ARHGAP26 are reported. Each links to that disease's full target list.

ReferencesPubMed · IEDB

Publications for ARHGAP26 from three distinct lines of evidence, kept separate because they answer different questions: whether antibodies are directed at the protein, whether a B-cell epitope has been mapped on it, and whether a T-cell epitope has. Each is labelled with its source.

Sources: PubMed — antigen-level antibody evidence from a custom retrieval. Records matching a controlled set of autoantibody terms (the MeSH descriptors Autoantibodies and Autoantigens, with title and abstract term variants) were obtained through NCBI E-utilities, and their titles and abstracts parsed for constructions that direct an antibody at a named protein rather than for co-occurrence. Captured names were resolved against UniProt nomenclature and each antigen adjudicated individually against the source text. Bibliographic records from PubMed and MeSH, U.S. National Library of Medicine; citation metrics from NIH iCite (Hutchins et al., PLoS Biology 2016). Titles link to PubMed; abstracts are not reproduced here. The NLM does not endorse this analysis.

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 ARHGAP26 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ARHGAP26 could matter depends on whether native ARHGAP26 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ARHGAP26 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ARHGAP26 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 ARHGAP26 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
