OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene contains a PDZ domain and a LIM domain, indicating that it may be involved in cytoskeletal assembly. In support of this, the encoded protein has been shown to bind the spectrin-like repeats of alpha-actinin-2 and to colocalize with alpha-actinin-2 at the Z lines of skeletal muscle. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. Aberrant alternative splicing of this gene may play a role in myotonic dystrophy.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads PDLIM3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PDLIM3 could matter depends on whether native PDLIM3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
PDLIM3 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 PDLIM3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
