Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads LRRC66 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LRRC66 could matter depends on whether native LRRC66 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
LRRC66 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 LRRC66 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
