OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein with significant sequence similarity to the ligand binding domain of platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta. Mutations in this gene, or deletion of a chromosomal segment containing this gene, are associated with sporadic hepatocellular carcinomas, colorectal cancers, and non-small cell lung cancers. This suggests this gene product may function as a tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

PDGFRL is annotated as secreted, so native PDGFRL circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PDGFRL as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
