OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a putative serine-type endopeptidase containing the peptidase S1 domain. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PRSS54 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 PRSS54 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRSS54 could matter depends on whether native PRSS54 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PRSS54 is annotated as secreted, so native PRSS54 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 PRSS54 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
