OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein which localizes to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) protein family but lacks an active thioredoxin motif, suggesting that this protein does not function as a disulfide isomerase. The canonical protein dimerizes and is thought to play a role in the processing of secretory proteins within the ER. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Whether an antibody against ERP29 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 ERP29 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ERP29 could matter depends on whether native ERP29 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
ERP29 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 ERP29 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
