OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase. The gene product is responsible for mitochondrial gene expression as well as for providing RNA primers for initiation of replication of the mitochondrial genome. Although this polypeptide has the same function as the three nuclear DNA-directed RNA polymerases, it is more closely related to RNA polymerases of phage and mitochondrial polymerases of lower eukaryotes.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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