OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a putative hydroxypyruvate isomerase, which likely catalyzes the conversion of hydroxypyruvate to 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate, and may be involved in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

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

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