OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. It participates in O-mannosyl glycosylation and is specific for alpha linked terminal mannose. Mutations in this gene may be associated with muscle-eye-brain disease and several congenital muscular dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against POMGNT1 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 POMGNT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against POMGNT1 could matter depends on whether native POMGNT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

POMGNT1 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 POMGNT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
