Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap
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 GNA15 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GNA15 could matter depends on whether native GNA15 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GNA15 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GNA15 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 GNA15 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
