OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of RAS small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins that regulate membrane trafficking. The encoded protein may be involved in endosome-to-Golgi transport. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB9B 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 RAB9B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB9B could matter depends on whether native RAB9B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB9B is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAB9B 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 RAB9B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
