OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the alpha subunit of glucosidase II and a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 31 family of proteins. The heterodimeric enzyme glucosidase II plays a role in protein folding and quality control by cleaving glucose residues from immature glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Expression of the encoded protein is elevated in lung tumor tissue and in response to UV irradiation. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney and liver disease.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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