OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a type I membrane protein. The protein may play a role in the adhesive interactions of activated T and NK cells during the late phase of the immune response. It may also function in antigen presentation. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CD96 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 CD96 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CD96 could matter depends on whether native CD96 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CD96 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CD96 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 CD96 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
