OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that has one immunoglobulin (Ig) domain and is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Proteins in this superfamily are usually found on or in cell membranes and act as receptors in immune response pathways. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IGSF23 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 IGSF23 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IGSF23 could matter depends on whether native IGSF23 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IGSF23 is annotated at the cell surface, where native IGSF23 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 IGSF23 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/IGSF23. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.
