OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the methylation of guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues of proteins. The enzyme acts on 40S ribosomal protein S2 (rpS2), which is its major in-vivo substrate, and is involved in the proper maturation of the 80S ribosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PRMT3 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 PRMT3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRMT3 could matter depends on whether native PRMT3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PRMT3 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 PRMT3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
