OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. This receptor functions as a heterodimer with GABA(B) receptor 2. Defects in this gene may underlie brain disorders such as schizophrenia and epilepsy. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GABBR1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Conditions GABBR1 is implicated in, by any mechanism.

Disease | GeneticClinVar

8 pathogenic / likely-pathogenic of 190 ClinVar records.

Conditions with pathogenic or likely-pathogenic variants.

Conditions in which antibodies against GABBR1 are reported. Each links to that disease's full target list.

ReferencesPubMed · IEDB

Publications for GABBR1 from three distinct lines of evidence, kept separate because they answer different questions: whether antibodies are directed at the protein, whether a B-cell epitope has been mapped on it, and whether a T-cell epitope has. Each is labelled with its source.

Sources: PubMed — antigen-level antibody evidence from a custom retrieval. Records matching a controlled set of autoantibody terms (the MeSH descriptors Autoantibodies and Autoantigens, with title and abstract term variants) were obtained through NCBI E-utilities, and their titles and abstracts parsed for constructions that direct an antibody at a named protein rather than for co-occurrence. Captured names were resolved against UniProt nomenclature and each antigen adjudicated individually against the source text. Bibliographic records from PubMed and MeSH, U.S. National Library of Medicine; citation metrics from NIH iCite (Hutchins et al., PLoS Biology 2016). Titles link to PubMed; abstracts are not reproduced here. The NLM does not endorse this analysis.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GABBR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GABBR1 could matter depends on whether native GABBR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GABBR1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GABBR1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GABBR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
