OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor family, which contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins. This is an orphan receptor, which displays significant level of constitutive activity. Association analysis shows preliminary evidence for the involvement of this gene in susceptibility to bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads GPR78 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GPR78 could matter depends on whether native GPR78 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GPR78 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GPR78 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 GPR78 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
