OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that interacts with calmodulin and several transient receptor potential canonical cation channel proteins. The encoded protein may function as an adaptor to localize signal transduction machinery to calcium channels. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ENKUR can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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