OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene product belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Even though this protein shares similarity with the melatonin receptors, it does not bind melatonin, however, it inhibits melatonin receptor 1A function through heterodimerization. Polymorphic variants of this gene have been associated with bipolar affective disorder in women. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GPR50 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 GPR50 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR50 could matter depends on whether native GPR50 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GPR50 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR50 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 GPR50 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
