OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme in the catabolic pathway of tyrosine. The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisate. Defects in this gene are a cause of tyrosinemia type 3 (TYRO3) and hawkinsinuria (HAWK). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

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