OverviewNCBI Gene

ARL5B (ARL8) belongs to a family of proteins that are structurally similar to ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs; see MIM 103180). ARLs and ARFs are part of the RAS superfamily of regulatory GTPases.[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ARL5B 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 ARL5B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ARL5B could matter depends on whether native ARL5B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ARL5B 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 ARL5B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
