OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene was identified upon genomic analysis of a gene-dense region at human chromosome 12p13. It appears to be mainly expressed in the brain; however, its function is not known. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GPR162 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 GPR162 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR162 could matter depends on whether native GPR162 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GPR162 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR162 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 GPR162 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
