OverviewNCBI Gene

LCMT1 catalyzes the methylation of the carboxyl group of the C-terminal leucine residue (leu309) of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-2A (PPP2CA; MIM 176915) (De Baere et al., 1999 [PubMed 10600115]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LCMT1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

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 LCMT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LCMT1 could matter depends on whether native LCMT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LCMT1 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 LCMT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
