OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. Chemokines, which recruit and activate leukocytes, are classified by function (inflammatory or homeostatic) or by structure. This protein is proposed to bind the G-protein coupled receptor chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 to recruit neutrophils, to promote angiogenesis and to remodel connective tissues. This protein is thought to play a role in cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CXCL5 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 CXCL5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CXCL5 could matter depends on whether native CXCL5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CXCL5 is annotated as secreted, so native CXCL5 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CXCL5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
