OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is highly conserved from nematodes to humans. In rat, the orthologous gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein that is involved in mast cell degranulation. The human gene has been implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual disability. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FERRY3 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 FERRY3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FERRY3 could matter depends on whether native FERRY3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FERRY3 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 FERRY3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
