OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Rab family of proteins. Rab proteins are small GTPases that are involved in vesicular trafficking. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB39B 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 RAB39B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB39B could matter depends on whether native RAB39B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB39B is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAB39B 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 RAB39B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
