OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein with two copies of a domain found in protein kinases. The encoded protein has a complete protein kinase catalytic domain, and a truncated domain that contains only the active and binding sites of the protein kinase domain, however, it is not known whether the protein has any kinase activity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Whether an antibody against COQ8B 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 COQ8B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against COQ8B could matter depends on whether native COQ8B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
COQ8B is annotated at the cell surface, where native COQ8B 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 COQ8B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
