OverviewNCBI Gene

IGSF11 is an immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily member that is preferentially expressed in brain and testis. It shares significant homology with coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR; MIM 602621) and endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2005]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IGSF11 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 IGSF11 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IGSF11 could matter depends on whether native IGSF11 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IGSF11 is annotated at the cell surface, where native IGSF11 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 IGSF11 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
