OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is abundantly expressed in cardiac tissue. The encoded protein localizes to intercalated discs in cardiomyocytes and functions as an activator of Rho-dependent serum-response factor signaling. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Readthrough transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring downstream gene POLR2M (polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide M) and is represented with GeneID: 145781.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

MYZAP is annotated at the cell surface, where native MYZAP 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 MYZAP as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
