OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein kinase C family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases. The encoded protein is activated by diacylglycerol and is both a tumor suppressor and a positive regulator of cell cycle progression. Also, this protein can positively or negatively regulate apoptosis. Defects in this gene are a cause of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

PRKCD is annotated at the cell surface, where native PRKCD is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Source-annotated serology context

The source annotations explicitly mention antibody, autoantibody, autoantigen, or autoimmune context. This is biological context, not study-specific reactivity.

  • Defects in this gene are a cause of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.
