OverviewNCBI Gene

Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix for both normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction and tissue remodeling, and disease processes, such as asthma and metastasis. This gene encodes a secreted enzyme that degrades casein. Its expression pattern suggests that it plays a role in tissue homeostasis and in wound repair. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MMP28 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 MMP28 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MMP28 could matter depends on whether native MMP28 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MMP28 is annotated as secreted, so native MMP28 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 MMP28 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
