OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the evolutionary conserved polynucleotide phosphorylase family comprised of phosphate dependent 3'-to-5' exoribonucleases implicated in RNA processing and degradation. This enzyme is predominantly localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and is involved in import of RNA to mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-13 and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness-70. Related pseudogenes are found on chromosomes 3 and 7. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads PNPT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PNPT1 could matter depends on whether native PNPT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
PNPT1 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 PNPT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
