OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to regulate cell growth. The encoded protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of xanthine monophosphate (XMP) from inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP). This is the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides. Defects in this gene are a cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 10 (RP10). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IMPDH1 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 IMPDH1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IMPDH1 could matter depends on whether native IMPDH1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IMPDH1 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 IMPDH1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
