OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables actin filament binding activity and cytoskeleton-nuclear membrane anchor activity. Involved in cytoskeleton organization; establishment of protein localization to membrane; and regulation of cell shape. Located in nuclear membrane. Part of meiotic nuclear membrane microtubule tethering complex. Biomarker of Huntington's disease. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein binding partners of SYNE3 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads SYNE3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SYNE3 could matter depends on whether native SYNE3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SYNE3 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 SYNE3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
