OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene forms a heterodimer with MSH2 to form MutS beta, part of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system. MutS beta initiates mismatch repair by binding to a mismatch and then forming a complex with MutL alpha heterodimer. This gene contains a polymorphic 9 bp tandem repeat sequence in the first exon. The repeat is present 6 times in the reference genome sequence and 3-7 repeats have been reported. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to endometrial cancer.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MSH3 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 MSH3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MSH3 could matter depends on whether native MSH3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MSH3 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 MSH3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
