OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a type 2 member of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) family. All type 2 members of this protein family contain 6 transmembrane regions, and a consensus N-glycosylation site. PAPs convert phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, and function in de novo synthesis of glycerolipids as well as in receptor-activated signal transduction mediated by phospholipase D. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PLPPR5 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 PLPPR5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PLPPR5 could matter depends on whether native PLPPR5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PLPPR5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native PLPPR5 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 PLPPR5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
