OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) gene family. This protein may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing and in embryonic development. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

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

RALY 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 RALY as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
