OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene was originally isolated by subtractive hybridization of cDNAs expressed in atherosclerotic plaques with a thrombus, and was found to be expressed only in vascular smooth muscle cells. However, a shorter splice variant was found to be more ubiquitously expressed. This protein is suggested to play a role in the development of atherosclerosis. Studies in mice suggest that it may also function as a GC-rich promoter-specific trans-activating transcription factor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GPBP1 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 GPBP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPBP1 could matter depends on whether native GPBP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GPBP1 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 GPBP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
