OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a component of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in collagen synthesis composed of two identical alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The encoded protein is one of several different types of alpha subunits and provides the major part of the catalytic site of the active enzyme. In collagen and related proteins, prolyl 4-hydroxylase catalyzes the formation of 4-hydroxyproline that is essential to the proper three-dimensional folding of newly synthesized procollagen chains. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against P4HA3 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 P4HA3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against P4HA3 could matter depends on whether native P4HA3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

P4HA3 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 P4HA3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
