OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent metalloprotease that degrades post-cleavage mitochondrial transit peptides. The encoded protein binds zinc and can also degrade amyloid beta A4 protein, suggesting a possible role in Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PITRM1 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 PITRM1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PITRM1 could matter depends on whether native PITRM1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PITRM1 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 PITRM1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
