OverviewNCBI Gene

RGMB is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored member of the repulsive guidance molecule family (see RGMA, MIM 607362) and contributes to the patterning of the developing nervous system (Samad et al., 2005 [PubMed 15671031]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

RGMB is annotated at the cell surface, where native RGMB is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label RGMB as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
