OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a glutamate-rich protein that contains five WD-repeat motifs. The encoded protein may play a critical role in ribosome biogenesis and may also play a role in histone methylation through interactions with CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GRWD1 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 GRWD1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GRWD1 could matter depends on whether native GRWD1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GRWD1 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GRWD1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
