OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP to their corresponding monophosphates. The encoded protein plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of these cyclic nucleotides. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PDE9A 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 PDE9A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PDE9A could matter depends on whether native PDE9A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PDE9A is annotated at the cell surface, where native PDE9A 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 PDE9A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
