OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein involved in spindle checkpoint function. The encoded protein contains four WD repeat domains and has sequence similarity with the yeast BUB3 protein. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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 BUB3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against BUB3 could matter depends on whether native BUB3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
BUB3 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 BUB3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
