OverviewNCBI Gene

Clathrin (see MIM 118955)-mediated endocytosis is a major mechanism for internalization of proteins and lipids. Members of the connecdenn family, such as DENND1A, function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the early endosomal small GTPase RAB35 (MIM 604199) and bind to clathrin and clathrin adaptor protein-2 (AP2; see MIM 601024). Thus, connecdenns link RAB35 activation with the clathrin machinery (Marat and McPherson, 2010 [PubMed 20154091]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DENND1A 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 DENND1A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DENND1A could matter depends on whether native DENND1A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DENND1A is annotated at the cell surface, where native DENND1A 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 DENND1A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
