OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NR1 subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. It is a DNA-binding protein that can bind as a monomer or as a homodimer to hormone response elements upstream of several genes to enhance the expression of those genes. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with NM23-2, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase involved in organogenesis and differentiation, and to help regulate the expression of some genes involved in circadian rhythm.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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