OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene contains sequence derived from endogenous retrovirus, and is therefore similar to multiple other loci in the genome. Transcripts at this locus encode a conserved protein with a predicted signal peptide and similarity to the Env polyprotein. This protein is overexpressed in colorectal and other cancers.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ERV3-1 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 ERV3-1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ERV3-1 could matter depends on whether native ERV3-1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ERV3-1 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 ERV3-1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
