OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes one of seven subunits of the human Arp2/3 protein complex. The Arp2/3 protein complex has been implicated in the control of actin polymerization in cells and has been conserved through evolution. The exact role of the protein encoded by this gene, the p16 subunit, has yet to be determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been observed for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ARPC5 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 ARPC5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ARPC5 could matter depends on whether native ARPC5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ARPC5 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 ARPC5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
