OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a reverse-direction motor protein that moves toward the minus end of actin filaments and plays a role in intracellular vesicle and organelle transport. The protein consists of a motor domain containing an ATP- and an actin-binding site and a globular tail which interacts with other proteins. This protein maintains the structural integrity of inner ear hair cells and mutations in this gene cause non-syndromic autosomal dominant and recessive hearing loss. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MYO6 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 MYO6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MYO6 could matter depends on whether native MYO6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MYO6 is annotated at the cell surface, where native MYO6 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MYO6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
