OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein containing a potential clathrin-binding motif, consensus dileucine signals, and tyrosine-based sorting signals for targeting to vesicles of lysosomal lineage. The encoded protein may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HPS3 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 HPS3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HPS3 could matter depends on whether native HPS3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HPS3 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 HPS3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
