OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the Rab family of small G proteins and plays a role in regulating membrane trafficking between trans-Golgi network (TGN) and recycling endosomes (RE). The encoded protein is involved in the assembly of tight junctions, which are components of the apical junctional complex (AJC) of epithelial cells. The AJC plays a role in forming a barrier between luminal contents and the underlying tissue. Additional functions associated with the protein include endocytic recycling of occludin, regulation of epithelial cell scattering, neuronal regeneration and regulation of neurite outgrowth. Alternately spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB13 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 RAB13 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB13 could matter depends on whether native RAB13 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB13 is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAB13 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 RAB13 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
