OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to a sea urchin radial spoke head protein. Radial spoke protein complexes form part of the axoneme of eukaryotic flagella and are located between the axoneme's outer ring of doublet microtubules and central pair of microtubules. In Chlamydomonas, radial spoke proteins are thought to regulate the activity of dynein and the symmetry of flagellar bending patterns. This gene maps to a region of chromosome 19 that is linked to primary ciliary dyskinesia-2 (CILD2). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads RSPH6A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RSPH6A could matter depends on whether native RSPH6A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RSPH6A 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 RSPH6A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
