OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an essential component of the peroxisomal import machinery. The protein is integrated into peroxisome membranes with its C-terminus exposed to the cytosol, and interacts with the cytosolic receptor for proteins containing a PTS1 peroxisomal targeting signal. The protein also functions as a transcriptional corepressor and interacts with a histone deacetylase. A mutation in this gene results in one form of Zellweger syndrome.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PEX14 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 PEX14 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PEX14 could matter depends on whether native PEX14 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PEX14 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 PEX14 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
