OverviewNCBI Gene

Erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (EPB41) is a multifunctional protein that mediates interactions between the erythrocyte cytoskeleton and the overlying plasma membrane. The encoded protein binds and stabilizes D2 and D3 dopamine receptors at the neuronal plasma membrane. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against EPB41L1 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 EPB41L1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against EPB41L1 could matter depends on whether native EPB41L1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

EPB41L1 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 EPB41L1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
