OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of a small, conserved family of proteins with similar structure, including a string of extracellular leucine-rich repeats. A related protein was shown to be involved in B-cell development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads LRRC8E as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LRRC8E could matter depends on whether native LRRC8E is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
LRRC8E is annotated at the cell surface, where native LRRC8E 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 LRRC8E as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
