OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is an antioxidant enzyme and belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. The protein is localized to the cytoplasm. Peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin family reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides to water and alcohol with the use of reducing equivalents derived from thiol-containing donor molecules. This protein has been found to play a regulatory role in the activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against PRDX4 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 PRDX4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRDX4 could matter depends on whether native PRDX4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
PRDX4 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 PRDX4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
