OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAB family of small GTPases. The GTP-bound form of the encoded protein has been shown to interact with early-endosomal antigen 1, and may be involved in the trafficking of and interaction between endosomal compartments.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB22A can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

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 RAB22A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB22A could matter depends on whether native RAB22A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB22A is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAB22A 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 RAB22A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
