OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a non-receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the Tec kinase family. The protein contains a PH-like domain, which mediates membrane targeting by binding to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3), and a SH2 domain that binds to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins and functions in signal transduction. The protein is implicated in several signal transduction pathways including the Stat pathway, and regulates differentiation and tumorigenicity of several types of cancer cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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