OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates vitamin B6, a step required for the conversion of vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate, an important cofactor in intermediary metabolism. The encoded protein is cytoplasmic and probably acts as a homodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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