OverviewNCBI Gene

Sm-like proteins were identified in a variety of organisms based on sequence homology with the Sm protein family (see SNRPD2; MIM 601061). Sm-like proteins contain the Sm sequence motif, which consists of 2 regions separated by a linker of variable length that folds as a loop. The Sm-like proteins are thought to form a stable heteromer present in tri-snRNP particles, which are important for pre-mRNA splicing.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LSM5 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

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 LSM5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LSM5 could matter depends on whether native LSM5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LSM5 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 LSM5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
