OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family and is found in the cell membrane. G protein-coupled receptors, characterized by a seven transmembrane domain motif, are involved in translating outside signals into G protein mediated intracellular effects. The encoded protein activates adenylate cyclase and modulates amyloid-beta production in a mouse model, suggesting that it may play a role in Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

Whether an antibody against GPR3 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 GPR3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR3 could matter depends on whether native GPR3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GPR3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR3 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 GPR3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
