OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the lysophosphatidic acid receptor family. It may also be related to the P2Y receptors, a family of receptors that bind purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and are coupled to G proteins. The encoded protein may play a role in monocytic differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LPAR4 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 LPAR4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LPAR4 could matter depends on whether native LPAR4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LPAR4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native LPAR4 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 LPAR4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
