OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. This enzyme acts as a monomer and requires zinc as a cofactor. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. One of the isoforms localizes to mitochondria while the other localizes to endoplasmic reticula.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MSRB3 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 MSRB3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MSRB3 could matter depends on whether native MSRB3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MSRB3 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 MSRB3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
