OverviewNCBI Gene

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. This opsin gene is expressed in the eye, brain, testes, and spinal cord. This gene belongs to the seven-exon subfamily of mammalian opsin genes that includes peropsin (RRH) and retinal G protein coupled receptor (RGR). Like these other seven-exon opsin genes, this family member may encode a protein with photoisomerase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against OPN5 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 OPN5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OPN5 could matter depends on whether native OPN5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OPN5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native OPN5 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 OPN5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
