Whether an antibody against PRNT can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap
Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads PRNT as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRNT could matter depends on whether native PRNT is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
PRNT is annotated as secreted, so native PRNT circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label PRNT as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
