OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene anchors the type II regulatory subunit of protein kinase A to the mitochondrion and aids in mitochondrial fission. The encoded protein also appears to be involved in autophagy and melanosome secretion. Variations in this gene may be linked to leprosy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB32 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 RAB32 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB32 could matter depends on whether native RAB32 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB32 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label RAB32 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
