OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional repressor and a member of the PRDM family. Family members contain a PR domain and multiple zinc-finger domains. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) contractile proteins. Mutations in this gene result in patent ductus arteriosus 3 (PDA3).

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PRDM6 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 PRDM6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRDM6 could matter depends on whether native PRDM6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PRDM6 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 PRDM6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
