OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein with a series of six RCC1-like domains (RLDs), characteristic of the highly conserved guanine nucleotide exchange factors. The encoded protein is found in the Golgi body and interacts with RPGRIP1. This protein localizes to the outer segment of rod photoreceptors and is essential for their viability. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms of this gene have been reported, but the full-length natures of only some have been determined.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads RPGR as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RPGR could matter depends on whether native RPGR is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
RPGR 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 RPGR as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
