OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the metallo beta-lactamase family of iron-containing proteins involved in the mitochondrial sulfide oxidation pathway. The encoded protein catalyzes the oxidation of a persulfide substrate to sulfite. Certain mutations in this gene cause ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an infantile metabolic disorder affecting the brain, gastrointestinal tract and peripheral vessels. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ETHE1 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 ETHE1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ETHE1 could matter depends on whether native ETHE1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ETHE1 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 ETHE1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
