OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; negative regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of sodium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and cytoplasm.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads CNKSR3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNKSR3 could matter depends on whether native CNKSR3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CNKSR3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CNKSR3 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 CNKSR3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
