OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the DNA polymerase type-B-like family. This enzyme synthesizes the 3' poly(A) tail of mitochondrial transcripts and plays a role in replication-dependent histone mRNA degradation.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Whether an antibody against MTPAP 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 MTPAP as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MTPAP could matter depends on whether native MTPAP is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MTPAP 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 MTPAP as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
