OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a CREB (cAMP responsive element binding) protein with a transmembrane domain which localizes it to the ER membrane. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator which contains a dimerization domain, and this protein may function in a number of processing pathways including protein processing. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CREB3L4 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CREB3L4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CREB3L4 could matter depends on whether native CREB3L4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CREB3L4 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 CREB3L4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
