OverviewNCBI Gene

Members of the precerebellin family, such as CBLN3, contain a cerebellin motif (see CBLN1; MIM 600432) and a C-terminal C1q signature domain (see MIM 120550) that mediates trimeric assembly of atypical collagen complexes. However, precerebellins do not contain a collagen motif, suggesting that they are not conventional components of the extracellular matrix (Pang et al., 2000 [PubMed 10964938]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CBLN3 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 CBLN3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CBLN3 could matter depends on whether native CBLN3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CBLN3 is annotated as secreted, so native CBLN3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CBLN3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
