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.

Protein binding partners of EPB41L1 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
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.
