OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the plexin family. Plexins are transmembrane receptors for semaphorins, a large family of proteins that regulate axon guidance, cell motility and migration, and the immune response. The encoded protein and its ligand regulate melanocyte adhesion, and viral semaphorins may modulate the immune response by binding to this receptor. The encoded protein may be a tumor suppressor protein for melanoma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PLXNC1 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 PLXNC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PLXNC1 could matter depends on whether native PLXNC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PLXNC1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native PLXNC1 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 PLXNC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
