OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs). The secretion and activation of TGF-betas is regulated by their association with latency-associated proteins and with latent TGF-beta binding proteins. The product of this gene targets latent complexes of transforming growth factor beta to the extracellular matrix, where the latent cytokine is subsequently activated by several different mechanisms. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads LTBP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LTBP1 could matter depends on whether native LTBP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LTBP1 is annotated as secreted, so native LTBP1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label LTBP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
