OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein and type I membrane protein that was originally identified as a myeloid cell-specific marker. The encoded protein was once thought to be a receptor for C1q, but now is thought to instead be involved in intercellular adhesion and in the clearance of apoptotic cells. The intracellular cytoplasmic tail of this protein has been found to interact with moesin, a protein known to play a role in linking transmembrane proteins to the cytoskeleton and in the remodelling of the cytoskeleton.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CD93 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 CD93 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CD93 could matter depends on whether native CD93 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CD93 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CD93 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CD93 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
