OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted glycoprotein that in mouse interacts with tectorial membrane proteins in the inner ear. The encoded adhesion protein is found in cochlear outer hair cells and appears to be important for proper hearing over an extended frequency range. Defects in this gene likely are a cause of non-syndromic autosomal dominant hearing loss. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CEACAM16 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 CEACAM16 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CEACAM16 could matter depends on whether native CEACAM16 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CEACAM16 is annotated as secreted, so native CEACAM16 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 CEACAM16 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
