OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a retinol dehydrogenase, which converts all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, with preference for NADP as a cofactor. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is essential for synthesis of embryonic retinoic acid and is required for limb, craniofacial, and organ development. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RDH10 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 RDH10 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RDH10 could matter depends on whether native RDH10 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RDH10 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 RDH10 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
