OverviewNCBI Gene

Guanine nucleotide binding proteins are heterotrimeric signal-transducing molecules consisting of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. The gamma subunit determines the specificity of which signaling pathways will be affected by this particular complex. The protein encoded by this gene represents the gamma subunit of both inhibitory and stimulatory complexes. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GNG3 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 GNG3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GNG3 could matter depends on whether native GNG3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GNG3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GNG3 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 GNG3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
