OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the myotubularin-related family and is part of the MTMR6 subgroup. Family members are dual-specificity phosphatases and the encoded protein contains a phosphoinositide-binding domain (PID) and a SET-interacting domain (SID). Defects in other family members have been found in myotubular myopathic diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MTMR8 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 MTMR8 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MTMR8 could matter depends on whether native MTMR8 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MTMR8 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 MTMR8 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
