OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein has been suggested to play a role in specific sensory neuron function and/or development. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads PPEF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PPEF1 could matter depends on whether native PPEF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
PPEF1 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 PPEF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
