OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region. The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated, plasma membrane-bound cell surface receptor, but soluble isoforms encoded by some transcript variants have been found in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi before being secreted. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MPIG6B 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 MPIG6B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MPIG6B could matter depends on whether native MPIG6B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MPIG6B is annotated at the cell surface, where native MPIG6B 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 MPIG6B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
