OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytosolic transport; endocytic recycling; and protein homooligomerization. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to plasma membrane and regulation of cardiac muscle cell membrane potential. Located in ciliary pocket membrane and recycling endosome membrane.

Whether an antibody against EHD3 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 EHD3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against EHD3 could matter depends on whether native EHD3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
EHD3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native EHD3 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 EHD3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
