OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING zinc finger, a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been reported. A pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 3, has been defined for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RNF13 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 RNF13 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RNF13 could matter depends on whether native RNF13 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RNF13 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 RNF13 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
