OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate binding protein involved in the homeostatic regulation of intracellular pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. This gene has a tumor suppressive effect on hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors of epithelial origin. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with a pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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