OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a ciliary protein homologous to proteins which are mutated in Usher syndrome patients, and mutations and translocations involving this gene have been associated with two types of Usher syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PDZD7 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 PDZD7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PDZD7 could matter depends on whether native PDZD7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PDZD7 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 PDZD7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
