OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase. The encoded protein hydrolyzes inosine triphosphate and deoxyinosine triphosphate to the monophosphate nucleotide and diphosphate. This protein, which is a member of the HAM1 NTPase protein family, is found in the cytoplasm and acts as a homodimer. Defects in the encoded protein can result in inosine triphosphate pyrophosphorylase deficiency which causes an accumulation of ITP in red blood cells. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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