OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family. The encoded protein plays a role in cell-cell adhesion in muscle cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CTNNA3 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 CTNNA3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CTNNA3 could matter depends on whether native CTNNA3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CTNNA3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CTNNA3 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 CTNNA3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
