OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the OTU (ovarian tumor) domain-containing cysteine protease superfamily. The OTU domain confers deubiquitinase activity and the encoded protein has been shown to suppress the type I interferon-dependent innate immune response by cleaving the polyubiquitin chain from an essential type I interferon adaptor protein. Cleavage results in disassociation of the adaptor protein from a downstream signaling complex and disruption of the type I interferon signaling cascade. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against OTUD5 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 OTUD5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OTUD5 could matter depends on whether native OTUD5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OTUD5 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 OTUD5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
