OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the rhoGAP family of proteins which play a role in the regulation of small GTP-binding proteins belonging to the RAS superfamily. The protein encoded by the orthologous gene in rat is localized to the Golgi complex and can redistribute to microtubules. The rat protein stimulates the activity of some Rho GTPases in vitro. Genomic deletions of this gene and a neighboring gene have been found in patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ARHGAP4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ARHGAP4 could matter depends on whether native ARHGAP4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ARHGAP4 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 ARHGAP4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
