OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that activates the nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB1) signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PLEKHG5 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 PLEKHG5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PLEKHG5 could matter depends on whether native PLEKHG5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PLEKHG5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native PLEKHG5 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PLEKHG5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
