OverviewNCBI Gene

MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosin-binding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3 is expressed exclusively in heart muscle and is a key regulator of cardiac contraction. Mutations in this gene are a frequent cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MYBPC3 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 MYBPC3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MYBPC3 could matter depends on whether native MYBPC3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MYBPC3 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 MYBPC3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
