OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables arrestin family protein binding activity. Involved in ligand-independent adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Located in endosome and plasma membrane. Part of receptor complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Whether an antibody against GPR62 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 GPR62 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR62 could matter depends on whether native GPR62 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GPR62 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR62 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 GPR62 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
