OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables GTPase binding activity and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and regulation of cholesterol transport. Located in lysosome. Part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP. Is active in Ragulator complex and lysosomal membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Whether an antibody against LAMTOR1 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 LAMTOR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LAMTOR1 could matter depends on whether native LAMTOR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
LAMTOR1 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 LAMTOR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
