OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a retina-specific guanylate cyclase, which is a member of the membrane guanylyl cyclase family. Like other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme has a hydrophobic amino-terminal signal sequence followed by a large extracellular domain, a single membrane spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. In contrast to other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme is not activated by natriuretic peptides. Mutations in this gene result in Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy-6 diseases.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GUCY2D 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 GUCY2D as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GUCY2D could matter depends on whether native GUCY2D is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GUCY2D 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 GUCY2D as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
