OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. The function of its protein product is unknown, but its ubiquitous expression and conservation in both simple and complex eukaryotes suggests that this may be a housekeeping gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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