OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase family. The encoded protein plays a role in RNA metabolism by catalyzing the ATP-dependent conversion of the 3'-phosphate of RNA substrates to a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

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