OverviewNCBI Gene

G proteins are trimeric (alpha-beta-gamma) membrane-associated proteins that regulate flow of information from cell surface receptors to a variety of internal metabolic effectors. Interaction of a G protein with its activated receptor promotes exchange of GTP for GDP that is bound to the alpha subunit. The alpha-GTP complex dissociates from the beta-gamma heterodimer so that the subunits, in turn, may interact with and regulate effector molecules (Gilman, 1987 [PubMed 3113327]; summary by Ahmad et al., 1995) [PubMed 7606925].[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GNG5 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 GNG5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GNG5 could matter depends on whether native GNG5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GNG5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GNG5 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 GNG5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
