OverviewNCBI Gene

Co-transcription of this gene and the neighboring downstream gene (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant 1) generates a rare read-through transcript, which encodes a fusion protein comprised of sequence sharing identity with each individual gene product. The protein encoded by this individual gene lacks a UEV1 domain but includes three transmembrane regions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PEDS1 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 PEDS1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PEDS1 could matter depends on whether native PEDS1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PEDS1 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 PEDS1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
