OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an RNA-binding protein that belongs to the c-myc gene single-strand binding protein family. These proteins are characterized by the presence of two sets of ribonucleoprotein consensus sequence (RNP-CS) that contain conserved motifs, RNP1 and RNP2, originally described in RNA binding proteins, and required for DNA binding. These proteins have been implicated in such diverse functions as DNA replication, gene transcription, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. The encoded protein was isolated by virtue of its binding to an upstream element of the alpha2(I) collagen promoter. The observation that this protein localizes mostly in the cytoplasm suggests that it may be involved in a cytoplasmic function such as controlling RNA metabolism, rather than transcription. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads RBMS3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RBMS3 could matter depends on whether native RBMS3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RBMS3 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 RBMS3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
