LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GPR160 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 GPR160 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR160 could matter depends on whether native GPR160 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GPR160 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR160 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 GPR160 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/GPR160. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.
