OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that functions to enhance the cell surface expression of odorant receptors. Mutations in this gene cause spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 31, a neurodegenerative disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against REEP1 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 REEP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against REEP1 could matter depends on whether native REEP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

REEP1 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 REEP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
