OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the patched family of proteins and a component of the hedgehog signaling pathway. Hedgehog signaling is important in embryonic development and tumorigenesis. The encoded protein is the receptor for the secreted hedgehog ligands, which include sonic hedgehog, indian hedgehog and desert hedgehog. Following binding by one of the hedgehog ligands, the encoded protein is trafficked away from the primary cilium, relieving inhibition of the G-protein-coupled receptor smoothened, which results in activation of downstream signaling. Mutations of this gene have been associated with basal cell nevus syndrome and holoprosencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PTCH1 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 PTCH1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PTCH1 could matter depends on whether native PTCH1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PTCH1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native PTCH1 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 PTCH1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
