OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferases family of integral membrane proteins that have acyltransferase activity. The encoded protein is a lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase that has specificity for arachidonoyl-CoA as an acyl donor. This protein is involved in the reacylation of phospholipids as part of the phospholipid remodeling pathway known as the Land cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Whether an antibody against MBOAT7 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 MBOAT7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MBOAT7 could matter depends on whether native MBOAT7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MBOAT7 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 MBOAT7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
