OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the Crumbs family of proteins. This gene is widely expressed in epithelial tissues where the encoded protein isoforms play various roles such as the control of cytokinesis and ciliogenesis or the formation of tight junctions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Whether an antibody against CRB3 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 CRB3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CRB3 could matter depends on whether native CRB3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CRB3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CRB3 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 CRB3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
