OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the beta subunit of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which catalyzes the conversion of GTP (guanosine triphosphate) to cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The encoded protein contains an HNOX domain, which serves as a receptor for ligands such as nitric oxide, oxygen and nitrovasodilator drugs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GUCY1B1 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 GUCY1B1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GUCY1B1 could matter depends on whether native GUCY1B1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GUCY1B1 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 GUCY1B1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
