OverviewNCBI Gene

The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the terminal, rate-limiting step in the synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, also known as vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is a required co-factor for enzymes involved in both homocysteine metabolism and synthesis of neurotransmitters such as catecholamine. Mutations in this gene result in pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) deficiency, a form of neonatal epileptic encephalopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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