OverviewNCBI Gene

GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD; EC 4.2.1.47) catalyzes the conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose, the first step in the synthesis of GDP-fucose from GDP-mannose, using NADP+ as a cofactor. The second and third steps of the pathway are catalyzed by a single enzyme, GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase, 4-reductase, designated FX in humans (MIM 137020).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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