OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that catalyze protein folding and thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. The encoded protein has has an N-terminal ER-signal sequence, two thioredoxin (TRX) domains with non-classical Ser-Lys-Gln-Ser and Ser-Lys-Lys-Cys motifs, respectively, two TRX-like domains, and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. The protein lacks oxidoreductase activity in vitro and probably functions as a chaperone. This gene's expression appears to be limited to the testis. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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