OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) enzyme family. Members of this family are involved in regulating intracellular concentrations of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Variation in this gene has been associated with bipolar disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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