OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen phosphorylase found predominantly in the brain. The encoded protein forms homodimers which can associate into homotetramers, the enzymatically active form of glycogen phosphorylase. The activity of this enzyme is positively regulated by AMP and negatively regulated by ATP, ADP, and glucose-6-phosphate. This enzyme catalyzes the rate-determining step in glycogen degradation.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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