OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the chemokine-like factor gene superfamily, a novel family that is similar to the chemokine and the transmembrane 4 superfamilies of signaling molecules. This gene is one of several chemokine-like factor genes located in a cluster on chromosome 16. Alternatively spliced transcript variants containing different 5' UTRs, but encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CMTM3 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 CMTM3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CMTM3 could matter depends on whether native CMTM3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CMTM3 is annotated as secreted, so native CMTM3 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 CMTM3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
