OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein which regulates Golgi-associated secretory pathways that are essential to endochondral bone formation during early development. This gene is also believed to play a role in early brain development. This gene is widely expressed in embryos and is particularly abundant in chodrocytes and brain tissues. It encodes a peripheral membrane protein which shuttles between the cytosol and Golgi complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with two types of recessive osteochondrodysplasia: Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen (DMC) dysplasia and Smith-McCort (SMC) dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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