OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the basic-leucine zipper family and the AMP-dependent transcription factor family. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and acts as a transcription factor activated by cyclic AMP stimulation. The encoded protein binds the cyclic AMP response element (CRE) and the box-B element and has been linked to acute inflammatory response, hepatocellular carcinoma, triglyceride metabolism, and hepcidin expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CREB3L3 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 CREB3L3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CREB3L3 could matter depends on whether native CREB3L3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CREB3L3 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CREB3L3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
