OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this intronless gene is an endothelial-specific type I membrane receptor that binds thrombin. This binding results in the activation of protein C, which degrades clotting factors Va and VIIIa and reduces the amount of thrombin generated. Mutations in this gene are a cause of thromboembolic disease, also known as inherited thrombophilia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against THBD can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

DiseaseUniProt · ClinVar · IEDB · PubMed

Four sources answering four different questions about THBD.

Disease | AllUniProt

Conditions THBD is implicated in, by any mechanism.

Disease | GeneticClinVar

8 pathogenic / likely-pathogenic of 702 ClinVar records.

Conditions with pathogenic or likely-pathogenic variants.

Disease | AutoantibodyPubMed

Conditions in which antibodies against THBD are reported. Each links to that disease's full target list.

ReferencesPubMed · IEDB

Publications for THBD from three distinct lines of evidence, kept separate because they answer different questions: whether antibodies are directed at the protein, whether a B-cell epitope has been mapped on it, and whether a T-cell epitope has. Each is labelled with its source.

Sources: PubMed — antigen-level antibody evidence from a custom retrieval. Records matching a controlled set of autoantibody terms (the MeSH descriptors Autoantibodies and Autoantigens, with title and abstract term variants) were obtained through NCBI E-utilities, and their titles and abstracts parsed for constructions that direct an antibody at a named protein rather than for co-occurrence. Captured names were resolved against UniProt nomenclature and each antigen adjudicated individually against the source text. Bibliographic records from PubMed and MeSH, U.S. National Library of Medicine; citation metrics from NIH iCite (Hutchins et al., PLoS Biology 2016). Titles link to PubMed; abstracts are not reproduced here. The NLM does not endorse this analysis.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

THBD is annotated at the cell surface, where native THBD is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label THBD as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
