OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes member of the collagen family which is thought to contribute to the stabilization of myotendinous junctions and strengthen skeletal muscle attachments during contractile activity. It belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helix (FACIT) subset of the collagen superfamily, which associate with collagen fibers through their C-terminal collagenous domains and mediate protein-protein interactions through their N-terminal noncollagenous domains. The encoded protein is deposited in the basement membrane zone of the myotendinous junction which is present only at the tissue junctions of muscles, tendons, the heart, articular cartilage, and skin. A knockdown of the orthologous zebrafish gene induces a muscular dystrophy by disruption of the myotendinous junction. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads COL22A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against COL22A1 could matter depends on whether native COL22A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

COL22A1 is annotated as secreted, so native COL22A1 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 COL22A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
