OverviewNCBI Gene

The ganglioside GD3 synthase causes cell differentiation with neurite sprouting when transfected into the mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a. After differentiation, the expression of several genes is upregulated, including one that encodes a protein termed ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (Gdap1). A similar gene was found in humans, and mutations in the human gene are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4A disease. The protein encoded by this gene is similar in sequence to the human GDAP1 protein. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms, as well as a noncoding transcript variant, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GDAP1L1 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 GDAP1L1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GDAP1L1 could matter depends on whether native GDAP1L1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GDAP1L1 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 GDAP1L1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
