OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the peptidase M16 family and encodes a protein with a zinc-binding motif. This protein is located in the mitochondrial matrix and catalyzes the cleavage of the leader peptides of precursor proteins newly imported into the mitochondria, though it only functions as part of a heterodimeric complex.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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