Whether an antibody against RNASE6 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 RNASE6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RNASE6 could matter depends on whether native RNASE6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
RNASE6 is annotated as secreted, so native RNASE6 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label RNASE6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
