OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is found on chromosome 20, approximately 20 kbp downstream of the gene encoding cellular prion protein, to which it is biochemically and structurally similar. The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that is found predominantly in testis. Mutations in this gene may lead to neurological disorders.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PRND as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
