OverviewNCBI Gene

COL23A1 is a member of the transmembrane collagens, a subfamily of the nonfibrillar collagens that contain a single pass hydrophobic transmembrane domain (Banyard et al., 2003 [PubMed 12644459]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against COL23A1 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 COL23A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against COL23A1 could matter depends on whether native COL23A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

COL23A1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native COL23A1 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 COL23A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
