OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor for group B coxsackieviruses and subgroup C adenoviruses. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 15, 18, and 21. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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