OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a specific nucleolar component of the spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)complexes . It specifically associates with U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), possibly coordinating their transition through the nucleolus. Mutation in this gene causes alopecia, progressive neurological defects, and endocrinopathy (ANE syndrome), a pleiotropic and clinically heterogeneous disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RBM28 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 RBM28 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RBM28 could matter depends on whether native RBM28 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RBM28 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 RBM28 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
