OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor family. The encoded protein may play a role in the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by interacting with the catalytic subunit of PKA, and overexpression of this gene may play a role in prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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