OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a sialoglycoprotein and a type I membrane protein. It is a member of a gene family with GPA and GPB genes. This encoded protein might carry the M blood group antigen. GYPA, GYPB, and GYPE are organized in tandem on chromosome 4. This gene might have derived from an ancestral gene common to the GPB gene by gene duplication. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against GYPE can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

GYPE is annotated at the cell surface, where native GYPE 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 GYPE as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
