OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a basic, proline-rich, 15-kD protein. The protein acts as a positive mediator of programmed cell death that is induced by interferon-gamma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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